Hi. I am trying to rename a bunch of MAT files within a folder.
For example, the current files are named: AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat
Each file varies on the numbers after "subject", "group, and "day".
I would like to change all of the files to be in the following format: AB007_subject011_day2_rawdata.mat
So essentially, I just want to delete the group and naive portion of the filename.
Thanks a lot!

>> name='AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'
name =
'AB007_group2_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'
>> name=regexprep(name,'_group\d+','')
name =
'AB007_subject011_naive_day2_rawdata.mat'
>> name=regexprep(name,'_naive','')
name =
'AB007_subject011_day2_rawdata.mat'
