I am using the addpath to link a folder to my path, but the name of the folder includes a /, how do I include characters such as / and : in the file name?

How is that even possible? The slash is a restricted character in filenames.

What operating system is this? I know for a fact that you cannot have a folder name with a / or \ in it in Windows. If you made it up, then you can combine with fullfile
myDrive = 'D:\';
myFolder = 'data/results\run 1';
fullPath = fullfile(myDrive, myFolder)
but in the above case the folder is actually 3 folder names concatenated. Note Windows does not care about forward or backslash and will work just fine with either one.

I learned something today. I only use Linux and Windows and there the slash is a no-no.
Sorry for my somewhat flippant and mistaken answer.

So, Claudy, Jose-Luis's link says that slash is permitted but colon is prohibited. So then, how are you creating folders with colon in them on your Mac, as you said in your original question?

Miles, try using double quotes:
myFolder = "C:\Users\Miles' PC\Documents\MSc Medical Physics\BP5901 MSc Project\Dicom data"
addpath(myFolder);
