check for a word

I need to check if the current folder name contains words: YES or DYES.

such that:

if it contains YES:

a=1

if it contains DYES:

a=2

code I'm starting with:

Folder=pwd;

[PathStr,FolderName]=fileparts(Folder);

if strfind(FolderName, 'YES'); a = 1; end
if strfind(FolderName, 'DYES'); a = 2; end

What if the folder name contains both? Or neither? What if the folder name contains the word but in lower case?

in this case it's not possible for the other sittuations to occur

please diregard my last comment

i'm getting an error:

Illegal use of reserved keyword "if".

for the end if line

Therefore Walter checks for YES at first and for DYES afterwards.

I assume he will apply a proper code formatting also in the near future.

I should, though, improve my code to:

if ~isempty(strfind(FolderName, 'YES')); a = 1; end

if ~isempty(strfind(FolderName, 'DYES')); a = 2; end
