move txt file from one folder to another

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi. I am trying to save a .TXT file inside a certain folder. I am currently using this code, but something is not working....
destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN'
A = 300;
save(fullfile(destdirectory, 'A.txt'), 'A'); % ???
I had also thought of saving it in the current folder and moving it to the desired folder with 'movefile' but to no effect:
A = 300;
writematrix(A, 'A.txt')
destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN';
movefile('A.txt', 'destdirectory');

Hi,
There is an error in your code, you've added quotes around your variable name. This should work.
A = 300;
writematrix(A, 'A.txt')
destdirectory = 'C:\Users\....\FolderN';
movefile('A.txt', destdirectory);
Alternativeley, you can use writematrix to create and write into a txt file :
writematrix(A,fullfile(destdirectory,'A.txt'))
