How to search a keyword from files of a folder and if found, check if the filename written just after it is present in entire folder or not??

Hello all,

I got stuck in a problem, please help.

I am trying to search a keyword "import from" inside many .art files present in a folder. if found, check if the filename written just after it is present in entire folder or not. For example - suppose it is written import from "abc_efg_xyz.art" inside a file. Here, after searching i will get to know that it has "import from" keyword.what should i do to check if "abc_efg_xyz.art" file is present in entire folder or not??

See the FAQ:

Inside the loop over all files, do something like

fileContents = fileread(fullFileName);
if contains(fileContents, '"import from', 'IgnoreCase', true)
    % Do something...like store which index or filename has the phrase.
end

"present in entire folder or not" is ambiguous. Do you want to see if EVERY file in the folder has that phrase, or if ANY file in the folder has that phrase. If any, then just break out of the loop once you find it.

fileContents = fileread(fullFileName);
foundIt = false;
if contains(fileContents, '"import from', 'IgnoreCase', true)
    foundIt = true; % Quit once any file has this.
    break;
end

Thank u so much for replying.

Actually i have to search for keyword "import from" in every file. And if the match is found.write the part just after it in an excel file. For Ex if it is written import from xyz_abc.art in a file.i have to write a code such that i will be able to write part just after it.i.e xyz_abc.art in an excel file.

Can you help me in this part?
