Using the find function in a loop
显示 更早的评论
I wrote this script to import multiple files. Now I try tofind the variables. Every file has a different amount of rows. I like to use the find function to find my variables. Every time I get an error. Can someone help me?

What error you get? Which line you are getting the error? What file we have to select to run the code?

The immediate cause for the error is simple, you already have a variable called datarecords and it's not a cell array. Since none of the variables you're using in your loop are predeclared you're either reusing whatever exists or creating them in the first step of the loop.
datarecords = {};
mydata = {};
before the loop would fix that error.
However the rest of the code doesn't make much sense. I very much doubt that importdata is going to return a structure when loading a text file, so your mydata{k}.textdata is probably an error as well.
k is either 1 or 4, never any other value, so it's unclear why it's used as an index. And if its only purpose is to break out of the loop then:
while true
%...
if strcmp(Answer, 'No')
break;
end
end
is better.
I think that rather than fixing that script, you'd be better off explaining better what you want to do and showing an example of the text file you want to load and telling us which part of that file you're interested in.

Ok, now that you've explained better what you're trying to do, here's how I'd do it: First, read the whole file as text and find on which line is 'DATA RECORDING' then read it again using readtable giving it the correct number of 'HeaderLines':
[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('../*.txt','MultiSelect','off','Load log file','C:\Users\');
fullname = fullfile(PathName, FileName); %fullfile is safer than strcat
%find the line where DATA RECORDING is in file.
filecontent = fileread(fullname); %read whole file
filelines = strsplit(filecontent, '\n'); %split into lines
dataline = find(startsWith(filelines, 'DATA RECORDING'));
assert(numel(dataline) == 1, 'DATA RECORDING not found or found more than once');
%now read the file skipping header
data = readtable(fullname, 'HeaderLines', dataline);
