Hi there guys,
I have a list of file locations that I have saved in a .txt file, all on new lines, like so:
C:\\User\Documents\file_nameC:\\User\Documents\file_name_2C:\\User\Documents\file_name_3C:\\User\Documents\file_name_4
I want to look through the file and see if the name in my .txt matches a predetermined name that I have previously chosen, and then delete it.
I can go through and find the one I want to delete with this code:
fileID = fopen('file_names.txt','wt');num = length(importdata('Possiblelocs.txt'); for ii = 1:num check = fgets(fileID(ii)); if check == new_str 'You found it!' break; else continue; end end
However, I don't think this is a particularly good way of finding it, nor do I know how to delete the entire line when I have. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!
