I am trying to automate the importing of text file data. How can I call each individual text file name, which is variable, in the readtable function? I have a variable with each textfile name, but am having difficulty using that in the readtable function. Is that a good way to do it? Im not even sure. I attached two text files for examples, any help is appreciated.
textfiles = dir('*.txt');
numboffiles = length(textfiles);
filelist = {ones(1:numboffiles)};
for j =1:numboffiles
filelist(j) = {textfiles(j).name};
end
data = ones(length(filelist));
for i = 1:length(filelist)
fid = fopen(filelist{i});
if fid == -1
fprintf ('Wrong File Name');
else
data(i) = readtable(filelist(j), 'Delimiter', '\t', 'ReadVariableNames',false, 'HeaderLines', 9);
end
end

You already asked multiple questions int he same context of text file...but you have neevr discussed or acknowledges your previous questions. You should discuss at your previous questions..if you are happy with the answer provided ..accept the answer then you can ask a different question.

I understand, thanks for letting me know. I am able to use readtable for the text files, but when im running the code above, I get an error, which I believe to be from when I am attempting to call each text file with filelist(j) at the bottom of the code, rather than specifying by exact name, a single file.

%Let directory 'data' have your files: 40_8deg_HL_Both.txt and 40_4deg_HL_Both.txt
n = dir('path_to_data/data/*Both.txt');
m = numel(n);
T = cell(m,1);
vn = {'Data_Timestamp','q','V_ref','Alpha','NFonSF','AFonAF2','PMonYM','P','Orientation'};
for ii = 1:m
T{ii} = readtable(n(1).name,'ReadVariableNames',0,...
'Format','%{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS}D %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %q',...
'HeaderLines',9);
T{ii}.Properties.VariableNames = vn;
end
%or other for-loop
for ii = 1:m
T{ii} = readtable(n(1).name,'ReadVariableNames',0,...
'Format','%q %q %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %q','HeaderLines',9);
T{ii}.Var1 = datetime(strcat(T{ii}{:,1},'_',T{ii}{:,2}),'I','uuuuMMdd_HH:mm:ss.SSS');
T{ii}.Var2 = [];
T{ii}.Properties.VariableNames = vn;
end
