Add files or folders to project
Syntax
Description
addFile([proj](#mw%5F6e6ce1a5-689a-413d-a43f-c5f145d7409d),[filesAndFolders](#mw%5F97dae1a4-cc95-448d-a72f-3edfe0c07f29)) adds files and folders to the project proj. When adding a folder to the project, MATLAB® only adds the specified folder. To add the folder including any all subfolders and files, use addFolderIncludingChildFiles instead.
newfiles = addFile([proj](#mw%5F6e6ce1a5-689a-413d-a43f-c5f145d7409d),[filesAndFolders](#mw%5F97dae1a4-cc95-448d-a72f-3edfe0c07f29)) returns an array of ProjectFile objects for the added files.
Examples
Open the Times Table App project. Use currentProject to create a project object from the currently loaded project.
openExample("matlab/TimesTableProjectExample") proj = currentProject;
Remove a file.
removeFile(proj,"source/timestable.mlapp")
Add the file back to the project.
addFile(proj,"source/timestable.mlapp");
Add a file to the project and then manipulate the file using the returned project file object.
Open the Times Table App project. Use currentProject to create a project object from the currently loaded project.
openExample("matlab/TimesTableProjectExample") proj = currentProject;
Save the current workspace variables to a file.
Add the new file to the project and return a project file object.
file = addFile(proj,"myvariables.mat");
Use the project file object to manipulate the file, for example, by adding a label.
addLabel(file,"Classification","Other")
Input Arguments
Path of files and folders to add to the project, specified as a string array or a cell array of character vectors. The specified files or folders must be within the project root. File paths must include the file extension.
