Hi,

I try to get my filename e.g.orange 4.70_02 displayed in
the legend

unfortunately it displayes 0 as a subscript due to _ in
front of it. I know that this is due to 'Interpreter' 'tex'
and one possibility is to write it like
orange 4.70\_02 but I don't want to change this manually
because I read it in as an function input

function Flightdisplay(Filename,Na)
(e.g.Flightdisplay('*.txt','orange 4.70_02')

I tried
legend(Na, 'Interpreter', 'none')
but it gives me a warning:
Warning: Ignoring extra legend entries.

I tried
set(0,'DefaultTextInterpreter','none')
but this changes only the label on the x and y achses which
actually require 'Interpreter', 'tex', but not my legend.

Any ideas?
Perhaps a way to insert \ automatically in front of _ ?

Thanks

regexprep(string,'_','\\_')

Thanks, that was very helpful
I also realized that
h=legend(Na);
set(h,'Interpreter','none')
istead of legend(Na, 'Interpreter', 'none') works
