How to save input main folder name as the output filename

Hi,

I have a main folder, and inside many sub folders. Each sub-folder contains text files. I want to read the text file, and save required data. Now, I merge all subfolders in to one main folder, and running my program, and save data. I am manually modifying the output file name each time when I run different main foldres (each main folder corresponding to different doposition tools. But, now I wish to just give the main folder location, and want to save put file name as the input main folder name. My main folder name(s) are like tool1, tool2 etc. My out files are "score_tool1.csv", "parameter_tool1.csv"

my code is below:

clc;
clear all;
clc
tic

FileList=dir('D:\Mekala_Backupdata\Matlab2010\Filesfolder\PartofTextFilesData/');
j=1;
for i=3:1:(size(FileList))   %%read all files from folder of specified dir
FileName{j}=FileList(i).name;
j=j+1;
end
for j=1:size(FileName,2)
fid=fopen(['D:\Mekala_Backupdata\Matlab2010\Filesfolder\PartofTextFilesData/',FileName{j}],'r');  %%opening each files and read each line

allText = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n');

numberOfLines = length(allText{1});
allText=allText{:};
for k=1:size(allText,1)
    idx_RainFallID=find(~cellfun(@isempty,regexpi(allText,'RainFallID')));
    idx_LMDName=find(~cellfun(@isempty,regexpi(allText,'LMD Name')));
    idx_10Under1=find(~cellfun(@isempty,regexpi(allText,'10 Under Pipe 1.Response Value')));

      idx_RainFallIDtemp=allText(idx_RainFallID);
      idx_RainFallIDtemp2=regexp(idx_RainFallIDtemp,' +','split');

b(j,1)=str2double(idx_RainFallIDtemp2{1}{1,3});
Variable{1,1}=char(idx_RainFallIDtemp2{1}{1,1});

end
fclose(fid)
end

xlswrite('score_tool1.csv',b)
xlswrite('parameter_tool1.csv',Variable)

Kanakaiah - if your (sub?) folder is named as

 folder = 'tool1';

and you want to incorporate into the filename, then you could try

 scoreFilename = ['score_' folder '.csv'];
 paramFilename = ['parameter_' folder '.csv'];

 xlswrite(scoreFilename,b)
 xlswrite(paramFilename,Variable)

I might have confused you. It is three level, (1) main folder,(2) Sub-folder,(3) sub-sub-folders. It means, I have a main(root folder), and in this folder, there are sub-folders named with different tool ID's, and inside these sub-folders, there are several folders (sub-sub-folder(s)) which contains textfiles (actually I want to read). My out put files names should contain sub-folder name(not the sub-sub-folder).

Kanakaiah - in your above code, where do you specify the main folder, the sub-folder, and the sub-sub-folders?
