Not sure which code you used in that link, but you can use genpath() to generate a list of all subfolders, then use a loop to recurse into each of them. In the innermost for loop is where you'll process your text file. Try it - just copy and paste and it should work. Here is the code:
% Start with a folder and get a list of all subfolders.
% Finds and prints names of all text files in
% that folder and all of its subfolders.
% Similar to imageSet() function in the Computer Vision System Toolbox: http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/imageset-class.html
clc; % Clear the command window.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
% Define a starting folder wherever you want
start_path = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox');
% Ask user to confirm or change.
topLevelFolder = uigetdir(start_path);
if topLevelFolder == 0
return;
end
% Get list of all subfolders.
allSubFolders = genpath(topLevelFolder);
% Parse into a cell array.
remain = allSubFolders;
listOfFolderNames = {};
while true
[singleSubFolder, remain] = strtok(remain, ';');
if isempty(singleSubFolder)
break;
end
listOfFolderNames = [listOfFolderNames singleSubFolder];
end
numberOfFolders = length(listOfFolderNames)
% Process all text files in those folders.
for k = 1 : numberOfFolders
% Get this folder and print it out.
thisFolder = listOfFolderNames{k};
fprintf('Processing folder %s\n', thisFolder);
% Get filenames of all TXT files.
filePattern = sprintf('%s/*.txt', thisFolder);
baseFileNames = dir(filePattern);
numberOfFiles = length(baseFileNames);
% Now we have a list of all text files in this folder.
if numberOfFiles >= 1
% Go through all those text files.
for f = 1 : numberOfFiles
fullFileName = fullfile(thisFolder, baseFileNames(f).name);
fprintf(' Processing text file %s\n', fullFileName);
end
else
fprintf(' Folder %s has no text files in it.\n', thisFolder);
end
end
