Error while using movefile

Hey all,

I am creating a test report and would like to rename it and move it a specified folder afterwards. I am using movefile but it keeps popping an error saying

Error using movefile.
No matching files were found.

      [FileName, PathName, FilterIndex] = uiputfile({'*.pdf';}, ...
                                              'Save the report as');
  FileFormat = 'pdf';
  FileNameExtension = 'pdf';
  ReportStructureFileName = 'ReportStruct';   %'ReportStruct_PDF';
      % Name der ".m"-Datei in welcher der Code für den Report generiert wird
  publish(    strcat(ReportStructureFileName, '.m'), ...                      % Aufruf der Datei und erstellen des Reports
              'format', FileFormat, ...
              'showCode', false, 'createThumbnail', false);       
  DefaultFileName = strcat(ReportStructureFileName,'.', FileNameExtension);
  movefile(DefaultFileName, FileName);        %%Extension
  movefile(FileName, PathName);
  end

I am thankful for any idea.

Br, Eva

The output file is not directly in the current directory: it is always in the html sub-directory of the current directory.

DefaultFileName = fullfile( 'html', [ ReportStructureFileName,'.', FileNameExtension] );

Hey Walter, thanks a lot for your quick answer. I tried to use your snipped of code instead but it gives the same error as before...

You have two movefile(); why not combine them into one?

if exist(DefaultFileName, 'file')
  movefile(DefaultFileName, fullfile(PathName, FileName) ); 
else
  fprintf('Failed to find the output file, was looking for "%s"\nContents of the "html" directory are:\n', DefaultFileName);
  ls('html')
end
