Create Folder and Keep files

Hi there, I am trying to save matlab images and excel files into a specific folder on my hardrive. This requires to make a new folder using mkdir however everytime I run the code and I change the base file to get a new set of results , all the old set of results are replaced by the new files, basically there duplicated with the same base name

%%Saving Images to Folder
% DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
for k=1:8;
 mkdir H:\7thMarch  
 folder='H:\7thMarch';
 baseFileName=sprintf('Fig%d.fig',k);
 fullFileName=fullfile(folder,baseFileName);
savefig(F(k),fullFileName);
end
%%Saving to Excel
% DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
 baseFileName=sprintf('Eq2.1.xlsx',k);
 fullFileName=fullfile(folder,baseFileName);

   sheet=1;
   xlRange='A1';
    xlswrite(fullFileName,HAB.',sheet,xlRange);

Are you asking how to look in the folder to determine which Fig*.fig files already exist, so as to use the next available numbering instead of always using Fig1.fig through Fig8.fig ?

If so, have you considered using a date/time component to the name so that the names do not clash?
