MATLAB: Compiled Matlab Application calls file

Question

Hello guys,

I want to build a Application with the Matlab Compiler that calls a specific .csv file and works with its data. Is threre any possibility to do so. At the momenent the apllication works fine with:

function test()
M = importdata('myfile.csv');
plot(M(:,1),M(:,2))
end

But I want it to be like:

function test()
files = dir('C:\Users\...\*.csv');
names = {files.name};
M = importdata(names{1,1});
plot(M(:,1),M(:,2))
end

In the process of compiling it Matlab forces me to put in the .csv as "file required for your application to run". But I want to call the file from outside the Application, to work with changing data.

looking forward to an answer

Answer 1

Look at: mfilename, fullfile, fileparts, pwd, uigetfile

These functions allow you to build full or relative paths that are generic and will work inside of compiled applications.
