How to get only foldername with uigetdir

Hello, I want to select a folder (would be subfolder2 in my example) and use its name as a string. The problem is that not only the foldername but the whole location is the output of uigetdir().

 name = uigetdir('./subfolder1/');

Is there a simple function to just get the name of the selected folder?

Cheers, J

But what if the user navigate to a completely different folder? Maybe not even on the same drive?

Use fileparts:

fp = uigetdir('./subfolder1/');
[~,name] = fileparts(fp)

change second line of text to:

[~name]=fileparts(filepath)

@Carl Hopkins: fixed, thank you.
