Save file with same name but different folder

Hi,

I have a selection of files that i would like to change, then save these files with the same name but in a different folder.

list_files2load = ls('*.txt');

[m,n] =size(list_files2load);

for j=1:m

    sprintf('loading file : %s',list_files2load(j,:))
    s=load(list_files2load(j,:));
    s(:,7)=s(:,7).*pi;
    s(:,8)=s(:,8).*pi;

I'm changing two columns of 's' and i want to save this file with the same name (the one in list_files2load(j,:)) but in a different folder.

i didn't manage using the save command..

so I welcome any advice!

Cheers,

n.

Using the LS command and catching the CHAR array output is not stable, because it kills trailing spaces. Better:

list_files2load = dir('*.txt');
files = {list_files2load.name};
m = length(files);
for j=1:m
  sprintf('loading file : %s', files{j})
  s = load(files{j});
  s(:,7)=s(:,7).*pi;
  s(:,8)=s(:,8).*pi;
  save(fullfile('D:\Temp\', files{j}), 's');
end

Thanks a lot

the fullfile works better like that for me !

save(fullfile('C:','Users','nlec002','Desktop','Data shape 1Hz','data', files{j}), 's','-ASCII')

cheers
