%% STEP 2: DEFINE THE CONSTRUCTOR AND THE REQUIRED METHODS
    methods
        % Define your datastore constructor
        function myds = MyDatastore(location,altRoots)
            myds.FileSet = matlab.io.datastore.DsFileSet(location,...

            % Return true if more data is available
            tf = hasfile(myds.FileSet);
        end

            % Update CurrentFileIndex for tracking progress
            if fileInfoTbl.Offset + fileInfoTbl.SplitSize >= ...
                    fileInfoTbl.FileSize
                myds.CurrentFileIndex = myds.CurrentFileIndex + 1 ;
            end
        end
        
        % Define the reset method
        function reset(myds)
            % Reset to the start of the data
            reset(myds.FileSet);

        end

        % Getter for AlternateFileSystemRoots property
        function altRoots = get.AlternateFileSystemRoots(myds)

        end

        % Setter for AlternateFileSystemRoots property
        function set.AlternateFileSystemRoots(myds,altRoots)
            try
              % The DsFileSet object manages the AlternateFileSystemRoots
              % for your datastore
              myds.FileSet.AlternateFileSystemRoots = altRoots;

    methods (Hidden = true)          
        % Define the progress method

    methods(Access = protected)
        % If you use the  FileSet property in the datastore,
        % then you must define the copyElement method. The
        % copyElement method allows methods such as readall
        % and preview to remain stateless 
        function dscopy = copyElement(ds)
            dscopy = copyElement@matlab.mixin.Copyable(ds);
            dscopy.FileSet = copy(ds.FileSet);
        end
                
    end
end

%% STEP 3: IMPLEMENT YOUR CUSTOM FILE READING FUNCTION
function data = MyFileReader(fileInfoTbl)
% create a reader object using FileName
reader = matlab.io.datastore.DsFileReader(fileInfoTbl.FileName);

% seek to the offset
seek(reader,fileInfoTbl.Offset,'Origin','start-of-file');

% read fileInfoTbl.SplitSize amount of data
data = read(reader,fileInfoTbl.SplitSize);

end
