HOW TO CONVERT .m INTO .mat file?

Best Answer

You can't. Or you do not want to. At least you shouldn't.

M-files are scripts or functions. This means, that they contain code. But MAT-files contain data only. You cannot execute them.

Of course, there are some overlapping details: If the M file contains the definition of variables only:

% Your M-file
A = 1;
B = [256; 17];

Then you could store the contents of the created variables in a MAT file. Or if the MAT file contains an object, which triggers the execution of code, when it is initialized - this is the case for .fig files: They are MAT-files with a specific file extension. Opening such a file causes the figure to be constructed and the CreateFcn is called.

But apart from such exceptions, M and MAT files have different jobs and contain different kind of contents.

There I'm sure you want to do something else. Please explain, which problem you want to solve.

There is no need to include the variables in square brackets. Replace:

[d] = struct();

d = struct();

an so on.

These line will write something to the commabnd window (square brackets removed already):

CRS = 'n/a'%['EPSG:' num2str(input('[CRS] EPSG code (just number) = '))];

TimeZone = 'UTC' %input('TimeZone (char) = ');
Description = 'Lacq field: bottomhole pressure' %input('Description of data (char) = ');

If this is not wanted, insert semicolons:

CRS = 'n/a';  %['EPSG:' num2str(input('[CRS] EPSG code (just number) = '))];
... etc.

Then running your code creates the MAT file in the current folder. Perhaps you should set this accordingly by:

cd(tempdir)
% Or
% cd('C:\myData\Folder\');
