how to extract a number from file name in folder

hi,

i want to extract a part of a file name in a folder to use for a loop to automate a process,

i have in a folder files in the pattern of

time_vector@field=yy.xxx@date=dd_mm_yy

i want to extract yy.xxx to use for a loop:

for ii = min(yy.xxx):0.1:max(yy.xxx)

i guess that i need to put all the files names to a variable or a table but i dont figured how.

Did you try the dir function? You can use it to retrieve a list of file and folder names, so that is probably what you need.

Read about dir . This will give you all the file spresent int he foder. YOu can give extension and extract only those files.

i know dir , but how is it automating? i want a code that is capable of taking the min and max of yy.xxx and run the for loop by itself.

i dont want to use dir and choose this by myself. i have about 2000 files times 10 folders
