getting a specific paragraph from a .txt file

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
This might sound like a stupid question, but is there was way of retrieving a specific paragraph from a .txt file please? I've written the conditions for various experiments in a txt file, so like
test1
-
-
test2
-
-
and so on. I was wondering if I could say get the user to input the test number (on a gui) and then use a strcat function to merge test and the number and then somehow retrieve the paragraph that corresponds to that number so I can then display it on the gui. Is there a way of doing that please?
Thanks

filecontent = fileread('YourFile.txt');
testnum = 2;
par_begin_pos = regexp(filecontent, sprintf('^test%d', testnum), 'lineanchors');
if isempty(par_begin_pos)
fprintf('No paragraph #%d in file', testnum);
return
end
par_end_pos = regexp(filecontent, sprintf('^test%d', testnum+1), 'lineanchors');
if isempty(par_end_pos)
par_end_pos = length(filecontent) + 1; %right test was last thing in file
end
paragraph_content = filecontent(par_begin_pos : par_end_pos - 1);

You can use regexp
