MATLAB: Can i tilte a figure including back slash character

figure titleMATLAB

fig_title = 'x\y'; title(fig_title) ;

gives error 'Warning: Unable to interpret TeX string'

same warning for fig_title = ['x', char(92), 'y']; is there a proper way to write the code?

Best Answer

A backslant (\) causes the following character to be rendered literally. So to print one in the title, use two:

title('x\\y')

NEWER ANSWER

FileLoc = dir('/license/license.json')
IsFileThere = ~isempty(FileLoc) && any(~[FileLoc.isdir]);

NEW ANSWER

exist behaves differently when searching for a file vs a dir. For a file search, it will search for file name in the matlab path, a partial match from the right hand side are valid. SO

   exist('/license/license.json', 'file')   %Works because it's searching:
        1) matlabpath/**/license/license.json    (if fail, look at root)
        2) root/license/license.json

When looking for a directory, the leading slash is immediately treated as the root directory. It doesn't seem to be looking for a partial match, unless the leading slash is removed.

   exist('/license', 'dir')    %Looks immediately for root/license
   exist('license', 'dir')     %Looks at matlab path, but NOT root or elsewhere

OLD ANSWER

The first '/' is treated as the hard drive ("C:\") for Windows 10 at least.

exist('/Users', 'dir') should work
exist('/Users/brian/apps/copilot/license', 'dir') should work
exist('/license', 'dir') should not work, because your license folder is NOT 
                         at '/license' but '/Users/brian/apps/copilot/license' 
exist('license', 'dir)  should work, because you are now looking for CURRENT_FOLDER/license, where
                        CURRENT_FOLDER = '/Users/brian/apps/copilot'
