Creating a MATLAB Function to Split a URL into Component Parts, Part 1

From the series: Creating a MATLAB Function to Split a URL into Component Parts

I often need to break up a URL string into components such as protocol, hostname, file path, query parameters, etc. Here, I create a function to do this, similar to the fileparts function in MATLAB.

Topics I cover in this code-along style video include:

Writing a function
Writing tests for functions using assert
Matching regular expressions using regexp
Using data types including char arrays, structures (accessed via dynamic field names)
