MATLAB: Renaming files in a folder in bulk

filefilenamesMATLABnaming filesrenaming

Hi. I am trying to rename a bunch of MAT files within a folder.

For example, the current files are named: AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat

Each file varies on the numbers after "subject", "group, and "day".

I would like to change all of the files to be in the following format: AB007_subject011_day2_rawdata.mat

So essentially, I just want to delete the group and naive portion of the filename.

Thanks a lot!

>> name='AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'

name =

'AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'

>> name=regexprep(name,'_group\d+','')

name =

'AB007_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'

>> name=regexprep(name,'_naive','')

name =

'AB007_subject011_day2_rawdata.mat'

Here is the corrected solution:

load DayGroups.mat
load DayGroups_t.mat
for k = 1:size(DayGroups,1)
    for j = 1:size(DayGroups_t,1)
        if strcmp(string(datetime(DayGroups_t{j,1}{1,1})), string(datetime(DayGroups{k,1}{1,1})))
            figure(k)
            plot(DayGroups{k}{:,2}, DayGroups{k}{:,3:end}, 'bp', DayGroups_t {j}{:,2}, DayGroups_t{j}{:,3:end}, 'r:')      
            grid
        end
    end
end

Good luck

save (all_names(nn).name,'variable')

all_names(nn).name is already a string. Your usage of it in cd() is correct
