How to process multiple txt files in a loop?

6 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have multiple txt files in a folder, and I wrote a code to process a single file:
function output = do(input)
filename = ('c:\.....');
fileID = fopen(filename);
.....
process data
.....
output single output
fclose(fileID);
end
What is needed so that MATLAB processes all the files in the folder, and output all output into a single column matrix?
Much Thanks!

Get an array of file names and loop over that array. e.g.,
files = ['file1.txt' 'file2.txt' 'file3.txt'];
for ii = 1:numel(files)
fid = fopen(files(ii))
...
fclose(fid)
end
or you can use datastore() with the location as a wildcard.

Hi George, I tried to use datastore to get multiple files to process. Although it shows it has got all the files, I do not know how to pull out data from each file into separate tall arrays. Any help is highly appreciated.

Datastore is probably not the best solution for that situation. It solves the opposite problem of "I don't care how many files my data is in, I want to aggregate it into a variable". Use dir to get the filenames.

With DIR function you have access to all data in a folder. An example is
%provide the path to your folder as argument
MyFolderInfo = dir('C/...');
%the names of the files are:
%MyfolderInfo(1).name
%MyfolderInfo(2).name
%etc....
%for example you can run your function DO on each of them
for k=1:size(MyFolderInfo,1)
out{k} = do(MyFolderInfo(k).name);
end
