[FIXED] How to dissect a file path and keep extension Matlab

Issue

I have my file path in a string :

path = 'D:\Users\Documents\MATLAB\capella_to_matlab.txt'

How can i put only the extension in an other string (Not just for this file but for any file i put in path variable) for example :

extension = '.txt'

Thanks for helping !

Solution

Use fileparts :

>> path = 'D:\Users\Documents\MATLAB\capella_to_matlab.txt';
>> [~,~,ext] = fileparts(path);
>> ext
ext =

    '.txt'
