Re: find/match a file to a partial filename

[Rose]

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I found that this works:

i = 3
filedir = ["C:" filesep() "Octave" filesep() "data 110223%02d????.csv"];
globpat = sprintf(filedir, i);
filename = sprintf(" %s", glob(globpat){:});

this code finds the file I am looking for. Except that Octave prints
filename like this:

filename = C:\Octave\data 110223033325.csv

but I need it in this format:

filename = C:/Octave/data 110223033325.csv

so that I can extract the data in the file like this:

data = dlmread(filename,",:",6,0)

I'm not sure how to change the backslashes into forward slashes. Sorry if
this is a simple question, any help would be appreciated?

Thanks,

Rose
