fileparts (MATLAB Functions)

Return filename parts

Syntax

[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts('filename')

Description

[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts('filename') returns the path, filename, extension, and version for the specified file. The returned ext field contains a dot (.) before the file extension.

The fileparts function is platform dependent.

You can reconstruct the file from the parts using

```
fullfile(pathstr,[name ext versn])
```

Examples

This example returns the parts of file to path, name, ext, and ver.

file = '\home\user4\matlab\classpath.txt';

[pathstr, name, ext, versn] = fileparts(file)

pathstr =
\home\user4\matlab

name =
classpath

ext =
.txt

versn =
     ''
