MATLAB: Incorrect Logical Condition Statement

Question

Hi,

I have a variable (let's call it 'data') and dependent on whether the user is left ('L) or right ('R') footed I wish for the respective data to be called.

I.e. for if 'L' then I want ('data') to be: 'data_l'

If 'R' is selected then I want ('data') to be: 'data_r'

Essentially I wish to add in the respective 'l' or 'r' to the end of the name in accordance to whether the person is left or right sided.

Leg = 'L'; %change between L and R

if Leg == 'L' ;

LEG = 'l';

else Leg == 'R';

LEG = 'r';

end

Tables.knee_flex_LEG % would like LEG to change to 'l' or 'r' accordingly

Unrecognized table variable name 'knee_flex_LEG'.

I believe the if function is the one I need to use. However I am unsure how to add the option into the script

Answer 1

Leg = 'L';                                           %change between L and R
if strcmp(Leg,'L') ;
  LEG = 'l';
else strcmp(Leg,'R');
  LEG = 'r'; 
end
id = 'knee_flex_LEG'  ;
id = strrep(id,'LEG',LEG)
