Hi,
I understand you want to know if it is possible to possible to ensure that MATLAB recognizes the input variable as a path and checks for possible solutions in the written directory.
Yes, you can do this by using the “dir” function to list all files in a directory and then use the“load” function to load the file into your function. Here is an example of how you can do this assuming the path directs to a “.mat” file.
function testfunction(pathToFile)
% Check if pathToFile is a directory
if isfolder(pathToFile)
% List all files in the directory
files = dir(fullfile(pathToFile, '*.mat'));
% Load each file into your function
for i = 1:numel(files)
data = load(fullfile(pathToFile, files(i).name));
% Do something with the data
end
else
% Load the file into your function
data = load(pathToFile);
% Do something with the data
end
end
If you wish to make this change in MATLAB settings, you could refer to this MATLAB answer that has been previously posted and answered.
Hope this helps!
