Hi all!
For my GUI that analyses data files, the scripts are in the current folder. The data files that need to be analysed are in a separate folder. This folder is selected by the user beforehand using uigetdir. However, when I want another callback to find a specific file in that folder, it gives me an error because it is not searching in the right folder.
foldername = handles.foldername; %gets foldername from Choosefolder_Callback
str = char(get(handles.edit1, 'String')); %gets user input from edit1 textbox
S = dir(sprintf('*%s*',str))); %finds filename that matches user input
N = {S(~[S.isdir]).name}; %puts filenames in cell array
idx = ~cellfun('isempty',regexp(N,'^ID\w\d+sec\.csv$')); %indices of filenames which match regular expression
if nnz(idx)==1 % ensures the 1 filename match
filename = N{idx}; %get filename
indivtxt = sprintf('File has been located'); set(handles.text7, 'String', indivtxt); %sets string to individual data file selected
else warningMessage = sprintf ('Warning: file does not exist\n%s'); uiwait(msgbox(warningMessage, 'Error', 'error'));end
Why does this only work when I select the data files folder as my current folder and how can I change this? I need the current folder to be the scripts that I need for my GUI
