Something like this

files = dir('*.jpg');
for i = 1:numel(files)
    old_name = files(i).name;
    new_name = strrep(old_name, 'frame', 'image');
    movefile(old_name, new_name)
end

Hi,

what am I doing wrong here?

Code:

files = dir('*.jpg ');

for i = 1:numel(files )

frame = files(i).name ;

image = strrep(frame , ' ', '');

movefile(frame, image )

end

Error:

Error using movefile

Cannot copy or move a file or directory onto itself.

Error in frametoimage (line 9)

movefile(frame, image )

Sorry, there was a mistake. Check the updated code. Also, does the old file names should start with the frame, all lower case.
