I have a spreadsheet with a list of filenames in one column whose absolute location is defined relative to a file in another column. I want to be able to construct the absolute path for all of them so I can compare them with another list of absolute path filenames.

To do this, I try out the new string handling features in Release 2016b for the first time, learning as I go.

Features used in thiscode-alongstyle video include:

  • tableandreadtablewith'TextType','string'
  • string,strings,erase,contains, scalar and array concatenation with+andregexp
  • arrayfunandcellfun
  • …and noforloops!
