MATLAB: How to open datafiles with an exe-file

automatic file openingdata fileexe file

Hi, I have an exe-file, which converts datafiles in a special format into csv files. To use it, I drag and drop the datafiles on to the exe file, and the exe file converts it, and saves the generated csv in the same folder as the datafile. I would like to generate a script, to do the conversion automatically. Does anyone have an idea how to do this ? Thanks Hans

Hi Hans Jørgen Jensen ,

I've tried your code and yeah, I see your problem. I don't understand it but probably you could simply use system command to accomplish your task. Something like this,

% Specify data location
dataloc = 'C:\Users\hjj019\Desktop';
location1 = fullfile(dataloc,'CA');
[M,N] = size(dir(location1)) % Number of datalog files
files=dir(location1);
for iFile = 3:M
  fileDetails=files(iFile,1)
  fileName = fullfile(location1,fileDetails.name)
  % Convert datalog files to CSV
  system(['C:\Users\hjj019\Desktop\DLConverter.exe ' fileName])
end

MATLAB: Add string to matrix/ array in loop

fldr = 'C:\Users\Oleg\Desktop\'; 
s = dir(fldr);
strcat(fldr, {s(~[s.isdir]).name})
