Problem saving to created folders

Hello everyone,

I am having problems exporting files to created folder names. It will successfully create all the folders (inlcuding subfolders) in the various locations but only exports to the first One Drive Folder (see sv_direct). I have looked at the looping, deleted the folder locations, added a timestamp to the folders but the problem still persists. I know there is a looping probelm but I can't see it.

Could someone have a look please?

Thanks

sv_direct =[{'D:\One drive\OneDrive - X University\PhD\TecPlot\MATLAB_sim_var'},{'D:\Geostudio\TecPlot\MATLAB_sim_var'},{'D:\One drive\X University\Coastal - Shared\R R'},{'G:\Matlab_tables'}];
currDate = strrep(datestr(datetime('now')), ':', '_');
coupled_names = see attachment

%Main loop: Goes through slope angle data 
for a = 1:5   
    % creates graphs - keeps them maximised for export
    
    %Nested loop: Creates new folder directories - with slope angle specific subfolders (including timestamp)
    for i = 1:size(sv_direct,2)
        full_cycle_sav_locs{1,i} = sprintf('%s/Flu_trns_cpd_figures/%s/%s', sv_direct{i},string(coupled_names(a)),currDate);
        %create the folder if it doesn't exist already.
        if ~exist(full_cycle_sav_locs{i}, 'dir')
            mkdir(full_cycle_sav_locs{i});
        end
    end
    
    %Nested loop: Takes the subfolders above and saves figures to these locations
    for k = 1 : size(full_cycle_sav_locs,2)
        for j = 1:length(findobj('type','figure'))
            figureBaseFile = sprintf('figure_%d.png',j);
            FullfigureFile = fullfile(full_cycle_sav_locs{k},figureBaseFile);
            %figure(j)
            export_fig(FullfigureFile)
            fprintf('Saving %s \n' ,full_cycle_sav_locs{k});
            close
        end
        fprintf('Saving to: %s.\n', full_cycle_sav_locs{k});
    end
end
end

Hi,

I tried to replicate the issue, which is of no success. Can you try using breakpoint at start of loop with variable k, and check why is it not updating the other folders with figures.

This is the approach I have tried.This successfully creates png files in all the subfolders

sv_direct =[{'C:\OneDrive\One'},{'C:\OneDrive\Two'},{'C:\OneDrive\Three'},{'C:\OneDrive\Four'}];
currDate = strrep(datestr(datetime('now')), ':', '_');

%Main loop: Goes through slope angle data 
for a = 1:5   
    % creates graphs - keeps them maximised for export
    %Nested loop: Creates new folder directories - with slope angle specific subfolders (including timestamp)
    for i = 1:size(sv_direct,2)
        full_cycle_sav_locs{1,i} = sprintf('%s/Flu_trns_cpd_figures/%s/%s', sv_direct{i},string(coupled_names(a)),currDate);
        %create the folder if it doesn't exist already.
        if ~exist(full_cycle_sav_locs{i}, 'dir')
            mkdir(full_cycle_sav_locs{i});
        end
    end
    
    %Nested loop: Takes the subfolders above and saves figures to these locations
    for k = 1 : size(full_cycle_sav_locs,2)
       figure;
        for j = 1:length(findobj('type','figure'))
            figureBaseFile = sprintf('figure_%d.png',j);
            FullfigureFile = fullfile(full_cycle_sav_locs{k},figureBaseFile);
            %figure(j)
            export_fig(FullfigureFile)
%             savefig(FullfigureFile);
            fprintf('Saving %s \n' ,full_cycle_sav_locs{k});
            close
        end
        fprintf('Saving to: %s.\n', full_cycle_sav_locs{k});
    end
end
