Detailed Description

This function translates structures of parameters into strings and strings into structrues.

• Especially helpful when saving/loading traces.
• Parameters must be separated with '_' and you can for example use 'P10' or 'P=10'. For string only '=' works i.e. 'filter=Gauss'.
• If the string is terminated with _n, it assigns n to parametere 'iteration'.

Observations:

• For string to structure, the string can contain an exension.
• For string to structure, the string can contain a prefix separated from the parameters by a double underscore.
• From structure to string, the string is returned without extension.

Example:

'L20km_OSNR=20dBm_alpha0.3_2.mat'

translates to

out.L=20
out.OSNR=20
out.alpha=0.3,
out.iteration=2.

(And the other way around)

Parameters groups

The function also supports groups, i.e:

'P10_fiber[Length=100_D=17]_EDFA[Gain10]_OSNR=10.mat'

translates to

s.P = 10
s.fiber.Length = 100
s.fiber.D = 100
s.EDFA.Gain = 10
s.OSNR = 10
