MATLAB: Rename part of a file names in folder

filefolderrename

Hi
I have a folder with many files. The file names start like 'd10-raw-LT-4000 …' but the file names end with different charachters and formats.
I want to remove "raw-LT" from my all file names and rename them again. I do not want to change the rest of the name and other properties.

Best Answer

Use regexprep
FileName = 'd10-raw-LT-4000_xyz123.txt';
FileName = regexprep(FileName,'raw-LT-','');
% Output
FileName =
    'd10-4000_xyz123.txt'
To save the file, try:
FileName = 'd10-raw-LT-4000_xyz123.txt';
NewFileName = regexprep(FileName,'raw-LT-','');
movefile(FileName,NewFileName,'f'); % renames the file
Note: you must be in the current folder, or use the entire file path in the FileName.
