files managing (copy, move and write)

Hi,

Now I have a series of files but I don't know how to achieve my goal using Matlab since I am a definitely beginer. I have a folder called surface in which many folders are included, named by a time step (0.1, 0.2 ,0.3 .....). Of course, under each time step folder the data file (e.g. "0.1->patch_ground->scalarfiled->p") that I need is there, as you can recognise in the attchment, which is original data files that I output from an OPENFOAM code. First of all, I have to change the name of file "p" to "p.data" and copy/move the "p.data" file into the folder of each timestep ("0.1->p.data"). Then, I need to copy the file "p" already in the foler of "0.1" to every timestep folder (0.1, 0.2, 0.3....). I hope anybody can give me some tips, thanks a lot.

You can use copyfile and movefile.
