movefile moves file or directory movefile(source, destination) [status, message] = movefile(source, destination) source a character string. destination a character string. status an integer: the status of the operation. message a character string: a message about an error. movefile(source, destination) moves the file or directory source (and subdirectories) to the file or directory destination. If source is a directory, destination cannot be a file. movefile replaces existing files without warning. [status, message] = movefile(source, destination) moves source to destination, returning the status and a message. Whatever the operating system, if the move succeeds, the status is 1 and the message is empty; if the move fails, the status is 0 and the message is not empty. copyfile
