Maybe:
[fPath, fName, fExt] = fileparts(filename);
if endsWith(fName, 'a ') % With the space as in your example
xxx = 1;
elseif endsWith(fName, 'b ')
xxx = 2;
... etc
end
Or:
[fPath, fName, fExt] = fileparts(filename);
switch fname(end-1) % Again assuming you mean the 2nd last character
case 'a'
xxx = 1;
case 'b'
xxx = 2
... etc
otherwise
error('Unexpected charatcer')
end

The cell array 'key' lists all possible last-characters and the order determines the value.
filename = 'Z2q0002b.jpg';
[~, fName] = fileparts(filename);
key = {'a' 'b' 'c'};
xxx = find(strcmp(key, fName(end)));
xxx =
