MATLAB: Function that has a text file as input

matlab function

Hi I somehow know how to create a new function in matlab, while the function has NUMBERS as input. How can I define a Text file as input for my Matlab function? your answers really makes my life easier.

What exactly do you mean by "text file"? The name or the contents of the file?

Both possibilities mean, that the input is a string, but in the first case, the input is treated as file name.

"soon as the file is in that specific directory" &nbsp See: Monitor Changes to .TXT File

    Create a FileSystemWatcher object fileObj and watch the Changed event for files 
    with a .txt extension in the folder C:\work\temp.
    fileObj = System.IO.FileSystemWatcher('c:\work\temp');
    fileObj.Filter = '*.txt';
    fileObj.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
    addlistener(fileObj,'Changed',@eventhandlerChanged);

MATLAB: Removing textflags in xml2struct

While you could indeed edit the code yourself so it does whatever you want, this whole thing is a very bad idea.

What if the xml is instead:

 <XMLname attrib1="Some value">
   <Element attrib2="Some other value">Some text</Element>
 </XMLname>

Where does attrib2 go in the structure? You do need

s.XMLName.Element.Text = 'Some text';
s.XMLName.Element.Attributes.attrib2 = 'Some other value';

xml2struct exactly reflects the XML DOM. What you're asking breaks from it. It is correct that the text portion of an element should be identified by its own field.

Also, I don't understand why it would be causing problem for you. Why can't you adjust your code so it conform to the xml DOM?
