Hi, how are you. I have a question about images in a folder. I have a folder with multiple images (2000). How do I separate this folder into two folders with randomly chosen images? For example, 70% of images in one folder and 30% in another folder.

  1. retrieve all filenames using dir
  2. create a random logical vector with 70% true, e.g. tf = randperm(N) > (0.70 *N), where N is the number of files
  3. create two new directories with mkdir
  4. loop over all files, using for
  5. use movefile to move the file to one folder, if the logical vector is true, otherwise move it to the other folder
