Dear.. there can be multiple way. The easy way I think is to parse the string by dividing into tokens. Here is example you requested. lets say your string is in variable a;

a ='C:\abc\xyz\myName_1.wav';
strtok(fliplr(strtok(fliplr(strtok(a,'.')),'\')),'_')

doc fileparts
doc strfind

In your case:

[pathstr, name, ext] = fileparts('C:\abc\xyz\myName_1.wav')

idx = strfind(name,'_')

disp(name(1:idx-1))
