Copying multiple files to a location using wildcard

Hi,

How can I use the copyfile command to copy multiple files of extension '*.csv' to a specific location?

I tried this but it gave errors:

copyfile(fullfile(RawCSVfolder,'*.csv'),ProcessedFoldersDirectory);

Thanks,

[Sean de Wolski]

What errors? Please post the whole error message.

As per the help document

copyfile('Projects/my*','../newProjects/')   so it should be

   copyfile([RawCSVfolder '\*.csv'],ProcessedFoldersDirectory);

I've tried running this:

for WhichLocation = 1:length(RawCSVfolder);

     RawCSVfolder=RawCSVfolder(WhichLocation);
    ProcessedFoldersDirectory = ProcessedFoldersDirectory(WhichLocation);
    movefile('RawCSVfolder\*ATI*',ProcessedFoldersDirectory) 

end

but I'm getting this error:

??? Error using ==> movefile
Argument must contain a string.

Error in ==> AutoMoveRawCSV at 59
  movefile('RawCSVfolder\*ATI*',ProcessedFoldersDirectory)

What value does ProcessedFoldersDirectory have at that point? Is it possibly the value 0 ? Or possibly a cell string rather than a plain string?

yup these should be in curly brackets, made this mistake too many times:

     RawCSVfolder=RawCSVfolder{WhichLocation};
    ProcessedFoldersDirectory = ProcessedFoldersDirectory{WhichLocation}
