Fullfile function gives me a false reading with the slash symbol

fileToRead = fullfile('C:\Users\thomas\Files\' CCC '.csv');

CCC is a string file with CCC='Tax'

I get the following:

C:\Users\thomas\Files\Tax\.csv

but I want the following

C:\Users\thomas\Files\Tax.csv

Note to future readers: Peng Li's answer shows the recommended solution.

Answer 1

[Peng Li]

fileToRead = fullfile('C:\Users\thomas\Files\', [CCC '.csv']);

Answer 2

[darova]

Try this

Or you can remove slash symbol

fileToRead(end-5) = [];

There is absolutely no point in doing this:

This answer confuses two different ways of creating the full filename: string concatenation OR using fullfile. It makes absolutely NO sense to combine the two as shown in this answer, which has all of the disadvantages of string concatenation (no automatic handling of the slash/backslash) and only one input to fullfile (thus making it totally superfluous anyway).

I strongly recommend that users read about fullfile before blindly copying this answer.
