MATLAB: How to call a file without extension

extension

Hello, I wanted to ask about how you could call a Matlab file extension in name only , ie without the extension. For example, if I have a process or file " ejemplo.xml " , " ejemplo.wav " … And I want to name , upload or read the file name "example" . For example , I want to process the following, using only the name "example" .

I have this file: " nombre.wav "

function res = function ( " name")

Or with a " audio.wav " file , use only the filename "audio" to create another name with that information.

Thanks in advanced.

[pathstr,name,ext] = fileparts(filename);

breaks up a filename into component parts, including the name and the extension. I'm not really sure what you are asking, but if you get the 'name' part out of that then you can use this and it will be separated from the path and the extension.

You just need to write the file name on the specific line of your program and make sure the other file exist in the same directory if not go with the absolute path.

MATLAB: Does FILEPARTS interpret UNIX hidden files as an extension with no basename

FILEPARTS is intended primarily for use following checks for attributes, such as FILEATTRIB. For example:

[stat,mess] = fileattrib(filename);
if mess.directory
% Process as directory
else
% Process as file using FILEPARTS to determine extension
[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts(filename);
end

In the case of hidden UNIX files, FILEPARTS has been designed to give the same results as common filename-splitting functions in other languages. In particular, the Microsoft Visual C/C++ function _splitpath() interprets .bashrc as a file with null basename and extension '.bashrc'.

To reinterpret this as a basename with no extension, you can check for null basenames:

[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts(filename);
if isempty(name) && ~isempty(ext)
    name = ext;
    ext = '';
end

The behavior on hidden directories is consistent with the overall intent. File a.b.c should report basename a.b and extension .c; the rules to give this behavior also split parent directory '..' as name '.' and extension '.'.
