I need to create a vairable containing the name of the current folder I'm in, not the full path name that the pwd command returns. In Linux, I believe the command is basename 'pwd' Does anyone know what the comparable command in Matlab is?

currentDirectory = pwd
[upperPath, deepestFolder, ~] = fileparts(currentDirectory)

Dear Graham!

I'd omit the trailing "~":
[upperPath, deepestFolder] = fileparts(currentDirectory)
It works, but I do not see the benefits.

Kind regards, Jan

well... what's the fuss about these output args(?)...

one of the (shorter) solutions

cd
% ans = F:\usr\r2010a
fp=fileparts(cd)
% fp = F:\usr
