Filename parsing

I'm working withfiles names with some details in the name. Basically it is a series of files all with the same format

Prefix_number1_number2_number3_number4

Obviously this gets very annoying when trying to analyze one file after another.

How can I parse these names so I can call them from any of the parameters the number represent.

For example, if number1 represented an angle, is there a way I can seperate or call the files from that parameter?

[prefix, number1, number2, number3, number4] = sscanf(TheFilename, '%[^_]_%f_%f_%f_%f');
