Hi

I have multiple text files with names like 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt...... Each file has a single row of data(same format and length), I am think about combining those files into one text file which has a matrix data.

For example

1.txt has a row of " 1 3 4 8...."

2.txt has a row of " 3 5 7 3...."

3.txt has a row of " 9 1 3 5...."

......

I want to combine them into a file with a matrix like below,

1 3 4 8....

3 5 7 3....

9 1 3 5....

...........

Thanks a lot

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

In DOS, I used to use this all the time.

copy 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt MyBigFat.txt

In MATLAB, you can use

system('copy 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt MyBigFat.txt')

This gives me a SUB character at the end of each appended file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_character). Do you know how to prevent this, or how to remove these? Regexping doesn't work as the files are too large.

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Use parameter "b" (binary) in order to avoid that character...:

In Windows Command Line:

copy /b 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt MyBigFat.txt

Or in Matlab:

system('copy /b 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt MyBigFat.txt')

Keep in mind you don't even need MATLAB to do this. You can do it with built in OS commands on Windows or UNIX

Windows:

type 1.txt > bigfile.txt
type 2.txt >> bigfile.txt

UNIX:

touch bigfile.txt
cat 1.txt >> bigfile.txt
cat 2.txt >> bigfile.txt

This will result in one big file that's in the format you want. Of course, there's no error checking, but the big upside is going to be that there is very little overhead so your processing may go considerably faster depending on the number of files you have to do.

Depending on the order of the file names, this may also be very easily scriptable. You will, of course need to use one of the import functions in MATLAB to read it in eventually, as well.

I prefer to use TEXTREAD in such cases. You could pass in different file names in every call and use the same matrix with different row numbers as output variables.

I read textread help but still do not know how to use textread to combine them. Could you please write down the detailed steps? Thanks.

Fangjun Jiang 2011-7-5

What Nirmal meant was to use textread() to read each file and then combine them in MATLAB. You know it's very easy to concatenate data in MATLAB, do you?

a=[1 3 4 8]

b=[3 5 7 3]

c=[a;b]
