How to extract data from title of multiple folder?

Hi,

I have a folder containing 270 subfolders and I would like to extract the data from the title of each subfolder for further use.

Each folder is similairy titled as so:

P_Tomo_6CMBCM_L_275cluster7_SF_1_XYZ_1448_545_1276_C_1_MD_34_RD_33_S1

I would like to extract the first three numbers following XYZ ( the coordinates) and put them all in a 3x270 array. In this case the coordinates would be:

X = 1448

Y= 545

Z = 1276

Any guidance and help would be appreciated

Hey,

You can follow the following algorithm to solve your problem.

1. Start with a folder and get list of all subfolders
2. Find and print names of all subfolders.

You need to use genpath function to list all subfolders.

You can use sprintf to match the file pattern accordingly with your requirements.

For a complete code you can refer this MATLAB answer.
