Question

Hello there,

I was hoping that somebody could perhaps help me out with a problem that I have. I'm only learning how to use matlab.

I have 100 4x4 matrices in .txt files in a folder. The file names are matrix1.txt, matrix2.txt.....matrix100.txt.

I'm trying to import them all using

C = cell(100,1); 
for ii = 1:100 
C{ii} = importdata(['matrix' num2str(ii) '.txt']) ; 
end

but I'm getting an error

??? Error using ==> importdata at 123 
Unable to open file.

would anybody know why?

Sincere thanks

Are these files matrix1.txt, matrix2.txt, etc. located in a folder which is on the MATLAB path?

Use addpath, or pathtool, to add that folder to the MATLAB search path.

Hi John, are these just numeric matrices with no text in them?

are you sure that matrix1.txt all the way to matrix100.txt exists in that folder

Hi Wayne

Oh my fault, I didn't have exactly 100 files in the folder.

Thank you for spotting that!

John
