Add movefile condition in Matlab

Hi,

I have a question. I've that code and I want to know if it's possible to add a condition to the movefile new name.

clc
clear all

Path = 'C:\EXE1\result\1\'; % path to the files
  fileNames= {'0301975168AAA01.tar.gz', '45465456468AAA01.tar.gz'}

for k = 1:length(fileNames) 
newFileName = ['fiche' fileNames{k} (3) '_pd_' fileNames{k}(3:5) '.tar.gz'];

% renaming  
    movefile([Path fileNames{k}], [Path newFileName]);  
end

So, my condition would be something like this, for example:

This is one of my files

'0301975168AAA01.tar.gz'

And this is the the result after running the code:

fiche0_pd_01.tar.gz

And the condition will be:

fileNames{k} (3)>0-5 = 2
fileNames{k} (3)>5-10 = 2

So, in that case=

fileNames{k} (3)= 0 So it would be 2, not 0

fiche2_pd_01.tar.gz

Does somebody know how can I do it?

Thanks in advance and greetings,

You indicate 10 as your upper bound in the second condition, but you seem to be working with only a single digit?

0-5 and 5-10 together seem to cover everything for a single digit, so it is not clear what the conditional would achieve?

Hi Walter. First of all, thank you for your quickly reply. Sorry, this is because I've a lot of files and I would have to apply for more than one number, not only one digit, as in the example. So, for example, the condition would be like this:

fileNames{k} (3)>0-5 = 2 fileNames{k} (3)>5-9 = 2

I've got a lot of files, so this is the reason I want to introduce a condition.

[Walter Roberson]

Still looks to me as if you are always changing the digit to 2 ?

[Emmanuelle]

Ah! Sorry it was my fault! For example,

fileNames{k} (3)>0-5 = 2 
fileNames{k} (3)>5-9 = 8

Use lookup tables.

For example, supposing 5 was to be left alone and 7 was to become 5 and the other digits were to become 2:

lookup3 = '2222252522';

newdigit = lookup3(fileNames{k}(3)-'0'+1);

[Emmanuelle]

Ah! I think I know what you mean but it's not like this. This is my real example:

XXX

if fileNames{k}(4:9)<10000= 31
fileNames{k}(4:9)>20000= 28
fileNames{k}(4:9)>10001>19999 =30

this is the exactly condition. And then I want to add it on the rename name.

newFileName = ['fiche' fileNames{k} (3) '_pd_' fileNames{k}(3:5) *'XXX'* '.tar.gz'];

I don't know if this is possible with Matlab. I'm going to check what lookup works.
