MATLAB: Split up file name into strings…

Question

Well I have a file name that I need to split up into 2 main parts and then put them into matlab as numbers.

The average name of the file is:

curr_1.564_image_002.tiff

I need:

curr = 1.564

image = 2

Here is what I have right now, this is really ugly way of doing this…

        [~,o,p] = fileparts(fig_dir(1).name);
        [k y] = strtok(o,'_');
        y = y(2:end);
        [curr z] = strtok(y,'_');
        image = z(8:end);

If I can split up this file name into these two parts that is all I need. I was unsure how to do this in MATLAB. Thank you, Chris

Answer 1

And another approach:

name    = 'curr_1.564_image_002.tiff';
numbers = sscanf(name, 'curr_%g_image_%d');
