MATLAB: Using fileparts and combining with a different file name

combine with a different extensionstrip a file namewrite complete file name

Hi,
I need to strip the file name and extension (TRMM_1998_01_0103_newntcl.csv) to TRMM_1998_01_0103_newntcl and .csv and then combine the file name with different extension (.nc) and then write the complete file name. I think I am close to that but the last line does not give me the desired output (TRMM_1998_01_0103_newntcl.nc)
Any idea? or any help is appreciated.
cd ('C:\Users\Desktop')
input_file='TRMM_1998_01_0103_newntcl.csv';
[~, fName, ext] = fileparts(input_file);
filenc=fName.'nc';

The last line should be
filenc = [fName '.nc'];
What you are doing here is concatenating two strings. Square brackets can be used to concatenate any kind of array, including strings. (Your previous syntax, with a dot, is used for structures.)
