compare two string and pass the selected data within it

Hello

There are two strings.

chkDataFileName = ["20220329_112048_ADU_INPUT" ; "20220329_141153_ADU_INPUT" ; "20220329_142653_ADU_INPUT" ; "20220329_144153_ADU_INPUT" ; 20220329_160005_ADU_INPUT"]

Newlyaddednames = ["20220329_112048_1742.4" ; "20220329_112048_1760.2" ; "20220329_141153_3216.8" ; "20220329_142653_3802.2" ; "20220329_144153_4720.2" ; "20220329_160005_1738"]

for eg., compare both string, as 20220329_112048 is present in both string then it will result as,

>>BLF_Name="20220329_112048_ADU_INPUT"; SnapTime = "1742.4"

>>BLF_Name="20220329_112048_ADU_INPUT"; SnapTime = "1760.2"

Now compare both string, as 20220329_141153 is present in both string then it will send the result as,

>>BLF_Name="20220329_141153_ADU_INPUT"; SnapTime = "3216.8"

same result for rest

>>BLF_Name="20220329_142653_ADU_INPUT""; SnapTime = "3802.2"

>>BLF_Name="20220329_144153_ADU_INPUT""; SnapTime = "4720.2""

>>BLF_Name="20220329_160005_ADU_INPUT""; SnapTime = "1738"

Please let me know for brief.

Thank you

Will it always be the first 15 characters you're looking at when you try to match up strings? Or maybe up until you see "_ADU"?

Yes it will be always first 15 characters.for comparing we will consider this only 20220329_141153.

but while write final output it will be 20220329_141153_ADU_INPUT

for i=1:length(chkDataFileName)

for j=1:length(Newlyaddednames)

inpSTR=char(chkDataFileName(i));

newSTR=char(Newlyaddednames(j));

if strfind(newSTR,inpSTR(1:end-10))

BLF_Name=chkDataFileName(i)

SnapTime = newSTR(17:end)

end

end

end
