MATLAB: Change the content in an m-file based on check-box input from gui

filegui

Hi,

I have a checkbox in my gui based on which i want to make some changes in another m-file & later run it.

The format of other m-file is like this:-

tclstart = {...
'# ...there is further code above.. #',...
'# .......................... #',...
'set compile            1',...
'# .......................... #',...
'# there is further code below'
}

Based on check-box value

get(h.checkbox1, 'Value');

if it is 1,i want set compile to be 1 in that m-file otherwise 0 as an m-file is similar to txt file,i'm doing this-

content = fileread('tcl.m'); % name of that other m-file
index = regexp(content,'set compile')

Here i'm getting starting index of the matched sub-string,now how can i change the value from 1 to 0/vice-versa.

Best Answer

newvalue = char('0' + get(h.checkbox1, 'Value'));
newcontent = regexprep(content, '(?<=set compile\s+)[01]', newvalue);

MATLAB: M-file function

Your function is calling itself without approaching any convergance or something that will allow it to end. Therefore it will run forever and eventually out of memory (hence the error). Try splitting it up into a script and a function as so:

Script:

 %creating window of plot from -5 to 50 using stepsize 0.25 for t x-axis
 %t should be on the x axis, v should be on the y axis
 k=0; 
for i= -5:.25:50
    k = k+1;
    t(k)=i;
    v(k)=vPieceWise(t(k));
end 
plot(t,v);
 
figure
plot(t,v);
hold on

Function:

%Part A: Mfile function to compute v as a function of t
function v = vPieceWise(t)
 if (t < 0)
        v = 0;
    elseif (0 <= t)&&(8<=16)
        v = -5*t+10*t.^2;
    elseif (8<=16)&&(t<=16)
        v = 624 - 3*t;
    elseif (t<=16)&&(t<=26)
        v = 12*(t-16).^2+36*t;
    elseif (26<t)
        v = 2136*exp(-0.1*(t-26));
 end

MATLAB: Matlab M-File

You should review the documentation on how to write a function, since your above code is not a correctly written function. First, come up with a name for your function, e.g. myFunction. Then create a new file called myFunction.m somewhere on the MATLAB path (e.g. your working directory). Then in that file put your code. E.g.,

function result = myFunction(V)
result = V;  % <-- allocate the result variable, copying all elements
%

% Insert your code here to create the result variable from the V variable
%
return
end

I will give you some hints about correcting your code:

Change this loop:

for i=1:1:6;  % <-- hard coded for exactly 6 elements

to this

for i=1:numel(V)  % <-- allows any size input

The following test has an error in the logic (compare this carefully with the requirement):

if [V(i)<0 | mod(V(i),2)==0 | mod(V(i),4)==0]

The following line has an error on the right hand side calculation (compare this carefully with the requirement):

    V(i)=i*i;

If you don't see what the errors are, step through a small example by hand and compare that to the code result. E.g., at the command line type this:

V=[10,4,7,-8,-3,-12];
myFunction(V)
