MATLAB: Error using save Unable to write file datafiles/f01.mat: No such file or directory.

MATLABno such file or directorysave

keep getting this error for simple save function. heres my code

if (jrandflag == 1) o = jrand.createShiftVector(D, lb, ub); o = o'; save('datafiles/f01.mat', 'o'); else load('datafiles/f01.mat'); o = o(1:D); end

datafiles folder does exist in same directory; expect'd save function to create f01.mat but error every time. and code not in loop per se

Can anyone help please? Thanks

Matlab version 7.10.0.499 (R2010a) on windows platform

'datafiles/f01.mat' isn't the full path of the file, is it? If you mean to save it in the current folder, try.

save(fullfile(pwd,'datafiles/f01.mat'));

MATLAB: Error in downloading sequence of txt files

Katerina - are you running the code from the directory where those files are located, or some other directory? Is the directory that contains the files in your MATLAB search path?

If a file is in a directory/folder that is in the MATLAB search path, then you will be able to open (or load) that file by simply providing the file name, as you are doing with

 ALL=load(filename)

But if the directory/folder for this file is not in the MATLAB search path, then the code will not be able to find that file and you will see the

 Error using load
 Unable to read file 'AbR1997.txt': no such file or directory.

You can do a couple of things - either add the directory (that contains these files) to the MATLAB search path, or better, just specify where the file is located. If we assume that your directory is N:/My Documents/MATLAB/runfiles, then build the folder name as

 foldername  = fullfile('N:', 'My Documents', 'MATLAB','runfiles');

and use this when we build the file name

 for n=1997:1999
     % @@@@@'sdfhbx' this is the text in the name of the filename that is 
     % followed by the sequencial number which is 'i'
     filename = fullfile(foldername,['AbR', int2str(n), '.txt']);
     %load the file to work with it
     ALL=load(filename) 
 end

Try the above and see what happens!

MATLAB: Save output for specific folder

Suhas - uigetdir returns a directory only so you need to specify a file name too. Perhaps something like

folderToSaveFileTo = uigetdir ("F: \");
filename = "someName.mat";
save (fullfile(folderToSaveFileTo, filename), "d");
