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?

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

This works in newer releases. In older releases
mkdir(['Scenario' num2str(ii)])
