MATLAB: How to make the code work for any format, not just .jpg

.jpgMATLABMATLAB and Simulink Student Suitemultiple filestif

Hello – I found this code from http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F and although it says that any format should work, it will not read any .tif files. Instead it results in the following errors –
  • Error using imread>get_format_info (line 491)Unable to determine the file format.
  • Error in imread (line 354) fmt_s = get_format_info(fullname);
  • Error in Line (line 16) imageArray = imread(fullFileName);
There are no errors when the code is used with .jpg files. Here is the code
    % function  Line(~,~)
% Specify the folder where the files live.
myFolder = 'C:\Users\Vicki\Documents';
% Check to make sure that folder actually exists.  Warn user if it doesn't.
if ~isfolder(myFolder)
  errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s', myFolder);
  uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
  return;
end
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.tif'); % Change to whatever pattern you need.
theFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1 : length(theFiles)
  baseFileName = theFiles(k).name;
  fullFileName = fullfile(myFolder, baseFileName);
  fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
  imageArray = imread(fullFileName);
end
end
  end
Any help is much appreciated.

I have fixed this problem myself. For whatever reason, it was only that specific folder that wasn't opening the .tif files. All the other folders worked. Thanks for the help.
