Hi everybody,

Is there a way to get around the ' in matlab?

Best to show an example:

dir='C:\filefolder\filename_1'_comments.txt';

Can I leave that ' after the 1 or is it necessary to take it out? If so, how?

Thanks....

Of course you can take it out by taking it out:
dir='C:\filefolder\filename_1_comments.txt';

I assume, you search for the possibility to *insert* a quote character in a string?! Then use:
dir='C:\filefolder\filename_1''_comments.txt';
These are 2 quote characters, not a double quote.

a hint:
- just ...take it out... :-)
- more seriously: do NOT create a var named DIR
as it clashes with the built-in ML function... DIR...
