filefilepathfopen

Hey Guys, why doesnt fopen work with the whole filepath ?

Does not work
afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/home/e/e119/MatLabGUI/Prototyp/seth_plots/seth_31050.dat
works perfect
seth_plots/seth_31050.dat

That's not the whole file path - it's a relative path. It probably goes off the current folder and you don't have an afs folder in the current folder. Just specify the whole path, starting from the drive letter, or make sure that folder tree structure is contained in the current folder, and you should be fine.

Study this snippet of code:

% Have user browse for a file, from a specified "starting folder."
% For convenience in browsing, set a starting folder from which to browse.
startingFolder = 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB';
if ~exist(startingFolder, 'dir')
  % If that folder doesn't exist, just start in the current folder.
  startingFolder = pwd;
end
% Get the name of the file that the user wants to use.
defaultFileName = fullfile(startingFolder, '*.*');
[baseFileName, folder] = uigetfile(defaultFileName, 'Select a file');
if baseFileName == 0
  % User clicked the Cancel button.
  return;
end
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName)
