Hi
After importing a csv file I see that a variable 'textdata' has been created. It is identified by curly brackets. In row 1, column 1 is the information I want. Here's an example:
This is the name of the CSV file:
C:\Program Files\BOSE\Etienne\Data files\WW series_block tests\WW11cRH_29May2012.TXT
I want to create a variable as follows:
SampleDescrip='WW11cRH-29May2012'
(Ideally I want to replace the underscore in the original name with a dash).
Thank you.

regexprep('WW11cRH_29May2012.TXT','_','-')
EDIT
name = 'C:\Program Files\BOSE\Etienne\Data files\WW series_block tests\WW11cRH_29May2012.TXT';
[path,n] = fileparts(name);
SampleDescrip = regexprep(n,'_','-');
