Main Content

Add file or folder to project

Syntax

Description

addFile([proj](#mw%5F6e6ce1a5-689a-413d-a43f-c5f145d7409d),[fileOrFolder](#mw%5F97dae1a4-cc95-448d-a72f-3edfe0c07f29)) adds a file or folder 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.

example

newfile = addFile([proj](#mw%5F6e6ce1a5-689a-413d-a43f-c5f145d7409d),[fileOrFolder](#mw%5F97dae1a4-cc95-448d-a72f-3edfe0c07f29)) returns a ProjectFile object for the added file.
