Get a New Directory Name from Mkdir - matlab

Question

I'm running a code in Maltab the creates directories through mkdir. Problem is, I'm creating their name by some logic on run-time, so I don't know what the dir name would be. I know I can first create the name as
string dirName = nameLogic();
mkdir(dirName);
but I would like to know the dirName from the created directory itself. Naivly, that would be
[outputdirName] = mkdir(fuzzylogicdirName);
I should add that I'm not religiously attached to mkdir, and another yet more suitable method might be in place.
Thanks

I might get you wrong. In any case what mkdir does is just creating a folder, hence the folder name must be known (possibly determined at run-time) before the call.
A structure like
folderName = folderNameLogic([run_time_variables]);
% # folderName = 'something_run_time_variables(1)_and_run_time_variables(2)'
status = mkdir(folderName)
if status == 1
disp(['success in creating folder ' folderName]);
else
disp(['ERROR in creating folder ' folderName]);
end
is thus necessary.
Clearly nothing prevents you from wrapping the call a function of yours returning the folder name. E.g.
function [folderName] = mkdir_retname(folderName)
status = mkdir(folderName);
if status == 0
folderName = '0';
end
end
