Change the name of csv file and save into a folder.

Hi MATLAB experts,

How can I change the name of csv file and save the name changed? After that, I'd like to move it to a folder..

For instance, I have csv file here, and want to change the name to 'DATA' from 'Value' as follows:

fileList = Value.csv

And move and save this changed file to a folder ('C:\myfolder\')..

Thanks for any help you can provide in advance!!

Best Regards, Jake

To rename a file use movefile (yes, really!):

movefile('oldname.csv','newname.csv')

To copy a file to another directory, use copyfile

copyfile('newname.m','D:/work/Projects/')

Please read the documentation carefully for both of those functions. Note that copyfile can also be used to rename a file or folder, and that the filenames can include relative-path or full-path if the file is not located in the current directory.
