Extracting the text part from imread

Say that I have the following statement:

I = imread('xyz.png');

How can I extract the following part only?

xyz.png

Thanks.

Define the filename as a separate variable, in this case string (char array):

>> Nam = 'xyz.png';
>> Img = imread(Nam);

Nam can then be used to read the file data, and anything else that you wish to do with the string...
