Extreact Information from a String

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello, I do have the following Code
d = dir('/home/user/Documents/Data*.inp');
names = {d.name}
which gives me an Array of Strings.
names(1) is like = "Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp"
names(2) is like = "Data_c101_t4.32111_id01112_Units.inp"
etc.
Now I want to extract the time, which is in the name after "t". How can I extract the time in such a format?
Any suggestions?

regexp would be the best idea, I've no big experiences with it, I'll give it a shot anyway,
names = {'Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp';'Data_c101_t4.32111_id01112_Units.inp'};
t = regexp(names,'[0-9]+\.+[0-9*]+','match')

To each their own opinion of course. Regular expressions are designed to extract specific patterns in strings, which, in my opinion is exactly the problem at hand.

Ok. This worked for me. Thank you. I do have still a question:
Can you please explain me how this worked? I searched up regexp on Mathworks documentation. But honestly I still don't really understand why this one works.
To Guilaume: It extraced only the time. Even I have more numbers in the name. Thats why I am asking how this works as I don't see any reason to just take the numbers from time.

Use a sscanf to read the number between the _t and _id, ignoring the varying number after the _c. Use cellfun to apply this to all cells:
names = {'Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp' ; 'Data_c101_t4.32111_id01112_Units.inp'} ;
T = cellfun(@(N) sscanf(N,'Data_c%*d_t%f_id'), names) % "%*d" = the * means skip

@Jos, this is a great answer
How would I adapt the sscanf formatSpec to extract 130 as a numeric value from this string? I have attached the string array variable that this is example string is taken from.
'Position: (19.59862|1.8|53.84677)Rotation: (0 | 130 | 0)'
Many thanks!

Thanks :-) Something along these lines should work for your input
str = 'Position: (19.59862|1.8|53.84677)Rotation: (0 | 130 | 0)'
A = sscanf(str, 'Position: (%*f|%*f|%*f)Rotation: (%*d | %d | %*d)')

str = 'Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp' ;
idx = strfind(str,'_') ;
str2num(str(idx(2)+2:idx(3)-1))
Using regexp:
str = 'Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp' ;
N = str2num( regexprep( str, {'\D*([\d\.]+\d)[^\d]*', '[^\d\.]*'}, {'$1 ', ' '} ) ) ;
t = N(2)

What is filename? Can you copy it?
Christian Berwanger
I do have it in a for loop. its like
for i = 1:length(names)
fileName = names(i);
idx = strfind(fileName,'_') ;
time = str2DOUBLLE(fileName(idx(2)+2:idx(3)-1));
end
so filename is in the first iteration "Data_c11_t3.322111_id01111_Units.inp"
in the second iteration: "Data_c101_t4.32111_id01112_Units.inp"
and so on.
