How to parse file name text and save values to variables

I have several file names that I want to parse through to find if they contain certain words.

ex1) HW_Azcut_y-plane_100-500Hz_V-Vp

ex2) XPOLcut_0.5-300MHz_Hp

I would like to be able to store the upper and lower values of frequencies into separate variables, find whether it is in Vertical (V) or Horizontal (H) , the cut type (Az, XPOL)

str = 'HW_Azcut_y-plane_100-500MHz_V-Vp';
strPart = split(str,"_");

idxCut = contains(strPart,'cut');
strCut = erase(strPart(idxCut),'cut');
if strcmpi(strCut,'Az')
    cutType = 'Az';
elseif strcmpi(strCut,'XPOL')
    cutType = 'XPOL';
end

idxFreq = contains(strPart,'Hz');
factor = 1.0;
strFreq = strPart(idxFreq);
if contains(strFreq,'kHz')
    factor = 1.0e3;
    strErase = 'kHz';
elseif contains(strFreq,'MHz')
    factor = 1.0e6;
    strErase = 'MHz';
elseif contains(strFreq,'GHz')
    factor = 1.0e9;
    strErase = 'GHz';
end

strFreq = erase(strFreq,strErase);
strFreq = split(strFreq,'-');
for i = 1:length(strFreq)
    freq(i) = str2double(strFreq(i))*factor;
end

Look at various combinations of the following functions

split
contains
matches
extractBetween, extractBefore, extractAfter
