destdir = 'C:\Users\Rahaf\EE208\assignment\databasedir';
[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.mat', 'choose a file');
if ~ischar(filename)
    return;         %user cancel
end
sourcefile = fullfile(pathname, filename);
try
    [success, message] = movefile(sourcefile, destdir);
    if ~success
        warndlg('Failed to move file "%s" to "%s" because "%s"', sourcefile, destdir, message);
        return
    end
catch ME
    warndlg('Failed to move file "%s" to "%s" for some reason', sourcefile, destdir);
    return
end
warndlg('file moved');
