MATLAB: Conditional with string wildcard

conditional stringImage Processing Toolbox

Hi all,

I want to use conditional statement to compare the string name using wild card.

image_folder = 'C:\Users';
filenames = dir(fullfile(image_folder, 'Flat.tif'));
total_images  = numel(filenames); 
full_name = filenames.name;
disp(full_name);
Text1 = 'Tree'*;
Text2 = 'Flat'*;
if strcmp(full_name,Text2)
    disp('OK')
else
    strcmp(full_name,Text1)
    disp('Not OK')
end

But it always comes with the second text "Not OK"

Anyone can help me with that? Thank you in advance

Use startsWith to determine if the file name starts with "Tree" or "Flat".

MATLAB: Rename files from subfolders

Get all files structure to one variable

cd <your directory>
d = dir('**/*.bmp')

Apply loop to get every file to structure

filename_full = fullfile(d(loop variable).folder, d(loop variable).name);
[~, filename, ext] = fileparts(filename_full);

check file names use ifelse condition

if strcmp(filename, '1');
    filename = '9'  % so to all other 3 files
end

concatanate all string to form renamed path

filename_full_ren = fullfile(d(loop variable).folder,[filename, ext]);

then rename file by moving

movefile(filename_full, filename_full_ren);

You are done
