Condense code in Split string operation
1 view (last 30 days)

I have a excel file with the name 'xxx_yyy_zzz.xlsx'
Here, I want to extract only the part 'zzz' and for that I am using the following code
name = 'xxx_yyy_zzz.xlsx';
dummy1 = split('xxx_yyy_zzz.xlsx', '.');
dummy2 = split(dummy1{1}, '_');
final = dummy2{end};
My question is -- is it posible to condense these four lines into a single line of code?
Thanks
SD

If you put the filename in a string instead of a char vector you can do it in one line
s = "xxx_yyy_zzz.xlsx"
extractBetween(s, '_', '_')
If it is a char vector it will take two lines
s = 'xxx_yyy_zzz.xlsx'
s1 = extractBetween(s, '_', '_')
s2 = s1{:}
