Why is 'cp_2-feb-2016_1' invalid string in MATLAB? I get:
>> cp_2-feb-2016_1
cp_2-feb-2016_1
↑
Error: The input character is not valid in MATLAB statements or
expressions.
where can I even read docs or how would/should I have googled/searched for this error?

Strings in Matlab must be surrounded by single quotes. For example:
>> 'cp_2-feb-2016_1'
ans =
cp_2-feb-2016_1
