Matlab code to select some images from numbers of images and assign them as training set

I have an image database which consist of 40 folders and in each folder, there are 6 images of individuals. The total images are now 240 images. Now in each folder, i want to select two images, i.e image no 3 and no 4 and assign them as testing set while the remaining four will be assign as training set. This should happen for all the images in the folders in the database at once. How do i do the matlab coding. I need help.

First, you want to name your folders in a consistent manner so you can easily make matlab count it. Then something like:

foldername='C:\Databasefolder\Folder1'
for i=1:40
    %Put your code to assign images from Folder1 here
    
    
    foldername=strrep(foldername,strcat('Folder',num2str(i)),strcat('Folder',num2str(i+1))); 
    %That bit will change the foldername to Folder2, and the next time, to Folder3. 
end

I tried that code above but it didnt work. This is how my initial code is;

%Load Image

faceDatabase = imageSet('T8ATT','recursive');


%Display Query Image and Database  side by side
fprintf('Press Enter to select image')
pause;
[filename,pathname]=uigetfile({'*.jpg'},'Pick an image file');
galleryImage=imread([pathname,filename]);

figure;
for i=1:size(faceDatabase,2)
    imageList(i)=faceDatabase(i).ImageLocation(1);
end
subplot(1,2,1);imshow(galleryImage);title('Selected Image');
subplot(1,2,2);montage(imageList);title('Database Image');
pause(0.002)
% diff=zeros(1,5); 

%Split Database into Training and Test sets
[training,test]=partition(faceDatabase,[0.6 0.4]);

%Extract and display Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features for
%single face
[hogFeature,visualization]=......
    extractHOGFeatures(galleryImage);

% figure;
% subplot(2,1,1);imshow(galleryImage);title('Input face');
% subplot(2,1,2);plot(visualization);title('HOG Feature');

figure;
imshow(galleryImage);title('Input face');
figure;
plot(visualization);title('HOG Feature');


%Extract HOG Features for Training Set
trainingFeatures=[];
featureCount=1;
for i=1:size(training,2)
for j=1:training(i).Count
trainingFeatures(featureCount,:)=extractHOGFeatures(read(training(i),j));
trainingLabel{featureCount}=training(i).Description;
featureCount=featureCount+1;
end
personIndex{i}=training(i).Description;
end

% Create 40 class classifier using fitcecoc 
faceClassifier=fitcecoc(trainingFeatures,trainingLabel);

%Test Images from Test Set
queryFeatures = extractHOGFeatures(galleryImage);
personLabel=predict(faceClassifier,que

Using this my code, i can partition all the image folder into 2 with this code

%Split Database into Training and Test sets
[training,test]=partition(faceDatabase,[0.6 0.4]);

This partition the image folder into first 4 images for "training" and last 2 images for "testing".

Now, i want to get a code where i can assign the image number 3 and 4 as "Test" and the rest as "Training" or image number number 2 and 4 as "Test" and the rest as "Training".

Help.
