Question

In a folder, I have both my .m file that contains the script and one imaging .dcm file that is the target of my analysis.

Folder structure:

Folder1/analysis.m
Folder1/meas_dynamic_123.dcm
Folder1/meas_123.dcm
Folder1/meas_345.dcm

My script (analysis.m) begins as follows:

target     =''; <== here should go only the filename that contains 'dynamic'
                    example: meas_dynamic_123.dcm

txt        = dir(target);

// etc

So I’m wondering if there is a way of when running analysis.m it will:

• automatically search the folder it’s in,

• grab the filename of file containing string dynamic in the name,

• insert its name into target variable

• continue running the script

Does anyone have any pointers on how to achieve this? Using ffpath?

Answer 1

you should do:

f=dir('*dynamic*');
target=f(1).name;
