Filesep error Unexpected Matlab expression

Good morning,

i'm creating a script which will work on Unix and Windows so i need to solve the problem of different directory mode / \; i read i have to use filesep but matlab gives me error

I wrote

delete('Risultatigiorno' filesep '*.txt');

Unexpected MATLAB expression. Why?

I have another question, if i write

pathout='Risultatigiorno' filesep;

is it right? Thank you

Use square brackets to contatanate text :

delete(['Risultatigiorno' filesep '*.txt'])

That should work.

(I don’t understand why you have the asterisk ( * ) before ‘.txt’ though. I’m not sure that works in Windows/MSDOS computers.)
