Looping through command mkdir

For a bit of context, I am trying to create a series of 20000 scenarios given an input parameter of my choosing, and label those newly created files with a file name and the numeral of the paramter I am changing. Below is a portion of the script

function startup
cd ~/Desktop/program/scenario/
%
for X= 100:100:500
mkdir Scenario-NumberX  %X is the changing variable which a file name will be made
cd ..
copyfile(['scenario','/*.prm'],'~/Desktop/program/scenario/Scenario-NumberX'
%under 'scenario' should be a number of files of my choosing with parameter files
% each iteration through the loop should be creating a file and placing it in the desired location.
end

Any and all help is appreciated!

The mkdir function creates a new directory (folder) not a new file.

Are you sure you want to do that?

Yes apologies, misspoke. I have prm files in another folder I am moving into it every iteration.

for ii = 1:10
    mkdir("Scenario" + x)
end

mkdir only accepts character arrays. I have tried using mkdir in command syntax and as a function as you just did, but it hasnt worked.

Also, I havent been able to use that scenario directory created inside of copyfile ie as a loaded variable

[Sean de Wolski]

This works in newer releases. In older releases

mkdir(['Scenario' num2str(ii)])

Perfect thank you. The other issue was taking that name I created with mkdir and adding it to the end of copyfile. Tried this

copyfile(['scenario','/*.prm'],['~/Desktop/program/scenario/Scenario-NumberX' convertStringsToChars('Scenario100')])

Should I create a new thread?
