I currently have a list of mat files labeled from P0.01.mat- P10.mat and would like to get numeric value of the selected .mat file. what i have currently gives me just from P1.mat to P10.mat. When i run this for a string of P0.01.mat its returns the number 1.
Files=dir(fullfile(datapath,'*.mat'));
numfiles=length(Files);
results=cell(numfiles,1);
for k = 1:numfiles
results{k}=Files(k).name; % lists all the names available
end
Ace=[results];
A=Ace(1); %selects the string
B = regexp(A,'\d*','Match'); %gets the numerals in the string
for ii= 1:length(B)
if ~isempty(B{ii})
Num(ii,1)=str2double(B{ii}(end));
else
Num(ii,1)=NaN;
end
end
Num
To match a number with an optional decimal point in it, use the regex string [0-9]*\.?[0-9]+
.
B = regexp(A,'[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+','Match'); %gets the numerals in the string
Reference: A: Parsing scientific notation sensibly? (which contains regexp for a more complex floating-point value representation).
