MATLAB: Reading and renaming files

filefunctionnamesreadrename

Hi, i'm wondering if there's a function to get all the file names/file info in a directory?

If so, is there another function to rename files/edit file info?

I'm trying to rename music tracks with file names "title – artist" and change this just to "title" which i will probably use regexp for.

Thanks

help dir
help movefile

What do you mean by "file info"?

Use uigetfile to select the file and then call uiimport with it

[file,filepath] = uigetfile()
S = uiimport(fullfile(filepath,file))

Then

plot(whatever)
title(file)

Use movefile() in a loop from the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F to rename a group of files in a folder.
