MATLAB: How to read datafiles residing in a different path than the program using the ‘load’ command or otherwise

faqfile readingswitching path

My matlab code wherein I read the datafiles (filename format: datafile_XX.dat, XX is the serial number of the file) using the 'load' command sits in the directory D:/, while my datafiles reside in the path F:/TP/Data/day. How to make my program read the datafiles (in a loop) sitting in a different path using the load command (or there is any other convenient command that helps)?

Use fullfile() and dir().

MATLAB: Dlmread filename not a character vector

I figured out the problem. The working for loop is as follows:

 for j=0:files
    filename = [file_folder file_prefix A{1,j+1} file_suffix];
    temp=dlmread(filename,'', [17 0 3664 1]);
 end

MATLAB: What is a good picasa replacement using matlab or otherwise

Doing facial recognition well, recognizing with different angles, and different facial hair, different hats, and so on, is not easy. It would take you a fair bit of research and experimentation to be close to Google's or Apple's success. A couple of years ago, Microsoft launched its facial recognition technology to much publicity, the greater part of which was due to the many failures.

Myself, I would probably purchase a product rather than try to write it myself. Or I would look for freeware. facedetection.com has a useful-looking list of available products.
