Reading file names with case insensitivity

14 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello I do a decent amount of Matlab programming in both Windows and Linux, and also use Dropbox of my means for sharing files between both operating systems.
When I save an stl file in windows it saves it as example.stl when I open that file again in Linux it makes it example.STL This forces me to either rename every stl file to be lowercase when I am in Linux or to switch my Matlab code to have stl uppercase.
Is there a way I can read in file names and not be case sensitive?

You could use the lower command to convert the file name string to lower case, before opening the file.
lower('example.STL')
ans =
example.stl

It ended up working fine on Windows (where example.stl was) but did not work on Linux (where exmaple.STL), I ended up using this instead:
if exist('example.stl')~=2 pelvis = stlread('example.STL'); else pelvis = stlread('example.stl'); end
It looks a little messy but works fine, only thing now is its giving me a warning that for the exist command I should give it a data type, but I was unable to find on what data type to use for stl files with Matlab
