Hi ferry you can simplify the code a little bit:

if ~exist(dirpath,'dir') mkdir(dirpath); end

For creating a single directory at the level of the script where this code is called, I found it cleaner to use a one-liner, rather than define a function:

if (~exist('<folder_name>', 'dir')); mkdir('<folder_name>'); end%if
