How to save multiple plots in one folder ?

 for k = 1:10 
        figure(k); 
         plot(foo); 
         temp=['fig',num2str(k),'.png']; 
           saveas(gca,temp); 
       end

In this particular code i have 10 figures. How can i save all these figures in one single folder.

How to read multiple files is explained extensively in the documentation, on this forum, and in the wiki:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/import_export/process-a-sequence-of-files.html

http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F

etc

The first thing to decide is if you want to generate the file names, or if you want to read the names of existing files:

• generate names: use sprintf and fullfile.
• read names: use dir and fullfile.

You can also find some examples with my FEX submission natsortfiles:

Note that, it is not needed to use figure(k), you can simply use only one figure and update it every time and save.

path = pwd ;   % mention your path 
myfolder = 'myfolder' ;   % new folder name 
folder = mkdir([path,filesep,myfolder]) ;
path  = [path,filesep,myfolder] ;
for k = 1:10
    figure(k);
    plot(rand(1,10));
    temp=[path,filesep,'fig',num2str(k),'.png'];
    saveas(gca,temp);
end

@KSSV: it is good advice to use one figure. Keep in mind though:

• do NOT use the name path, because it is already an important inbuilt function.
• much better to use fullfile rather than concatenating strings.

what if i want to save it with the filename of the file that i am taking the information from

[Stephen23]

@Firas Guechchati: Use DIR and FILEPARTS.

@KSSV

What is the filesep in path = [path,filesep,myfolder] ;?

[KSSV]

That gives you path. You can print it out on screen and check.
