Unable to open .csv file ("Error using importdata (line 136) Unable to open file")

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello!
I am using a loop to open a big number of .csv files. I have applied it to a folder with .csv files and it worked. However,I apply it now to another folder with .csv files and it doesn't work.
The loop is the following:
dd = dir('C:\Users\...\csv');
n=numel(dd);
for k=3:n;
filename=dd(k).name;
A=importdata(filename);
...
end
Any idea why it is not working? Thank you in advance!

dd = dir('C:\Users\...\*.csv');
n=numel(dd);
for k=3:n;
filename=dd(k).name;
A{k}=importdata(filename);
...
end

If the only difference is the folder and the particular csv files, then perhaps one is corrupted . Can you attach the one that it bombs on?

Finally,it worked for all the files with the following code.
dd = dir('C:\Users\...\csv');
n=numel(dd);
for k=3:n;
char1=dd(k).name;
char2='C:\Users\...\csv\';
filename=[char2 char1];
A=importdata(filename);
end
Thank you for the response.

Well what must have happened is that in the first case where it ran, you must have had the csv files in the current folder so you didn't need the folder name. In the second case the files were not in the current folder, where the m-file was, or even on the search path. So it didn't know where to find them. When you added
filename=[char2 char1];
now you told it the full filename and it could find them. The proper way, more robust way , to do this is:
folder = 'C:\Users\...\csv\';
if exist(folder, 'dir')
for k=3 : n
fullFileName= fullfile(folder, d(k).name);
if exist(fullFileName, 'file')
A=importdata(fullFileName);
end
end
else
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: folder does not exist:\n%s', folder);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
end
I suggest you make these changes to improve your code.
