fileparts: MATLAB fileparts function

In matlab: 'MATLAB' Emulation Package

MATLAB fileparts function

Description

Return filename parts.

Usage

fileparts(pathname)

Arguments

pathname

character string representing pathname to be parsed

Details

Determines the path, filename, extension, and version for the specified file. The returned ext contains a dot (.) before the file extension. The returned versn is always an empty string as the field is provided for compatibility with its namesake's results.

Value

Returns a list with components:

pathstr	character string representing directory path
name	character string representing base of file name
ext	character string representing file extension
versn	character string representing version. Unused

Note

Returns same insane results as does its namesake when handling relative directories, UNIX hidden files, and tilde expansion. Hidden files are returned with name containing a zero length vector and ext containing the actual name. For best results, use this routine to process files, not directories.
