Hello all

I am currently exporting different files to the folder set by SetDirectory["..."]. I have a loop that produces 5 files at a time and then start again and produce 5 other files. How could I ask the program to put each of these 5 files in a specific folder I created in the main folder ; the one set by SetDirectory["..."]?

Thank you in advance for your help

Do the folders exist at the time you write the files or do they
need to be created?

If they exist, you could either use SetDirectory to change the
working directory as needed, write the files then use
ResetDirectory to restore the working directory back to the main
folder or use ToFileName[foldername, filename] to specify both
the folder and filename when writing data to files.

That is

Export[ToFileName[foldername, filename], data, format]

writes data to filename located in foldername located in the
current working directory, i.e., the directory (folder) returned
by Directory[].

If the folders don't exist, use CreateDirectory to create them
then write data out as suggested above.

hi,

as far as I understand a combination of

ToFileName[{NotebookDirectory[], dir}, fln]

where dir is directoryname and fln is a file name while create
any filepath you need in Save, Export, Put, etc...

(define a suitable function)

Hi,
simply specify the whole path of the file in Export.
