% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Check if the provided irf_matching_file is a valid MATLAB function with
% .m extension and return name, path and extension of the file.
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% INPUTS
% - irf_matching_file: [string] user provided name (with possible path and extension)
% of the MATLAB function that transforms model irfs
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% OUTPUTS
% - irf_matching_file_name: [string] name of the MATLAB function (without extension)
% - irf_matching_file_path: [string] path to irf_matching_file_name
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% This function is called by
% - mom.run
