Display just the first letters of a filename as String

Hey I wan't to display just the first four letters from the file... lets say: TestFile_18.06.2020.txt so Matlab displays just "Test".

Is there any short possibility to make this happen? It should be integraded into a script later.

Best Regards

Niklas

If it is stored in a variable as a char array, then you can simply use indexing

x = 'TestFile_18.06.2020.txt';
disp(x(1:4))
