Hi all.. I wanna know if I could associate a variable according to a file name.. ? Example:

Mat File Names are:

Load 1 Q 1 Nt1

Load 1 Q 1 Nt2

Load 1 Q 1 Nt3

I want to write a code that changes with Nt..If Nt is 1 take the value a, if Nt is 2 take the value b.. likewise

Thanx

Use regexp() or indexing or extractBefore() and extractAfter() to pull apart the file name.

If the variable you want is the only one in the file, then the method is a bit easier.

Just interested in Nt.. Others are out of my concern

Hey,

I assume that you already know the value of 'Nt' and stored the value in nt.

char (nt + 'a' - 1)

would return you the final answer you want.
