MATLAB: Show part of filenames using uigetfile

show part of filenames using uigetfile

Hi:

ther are lots of files with the same suffix, such as '.mat' in a folder, I have named them based on their features, for example:

test001.mat, test002.mat, …. test050.mat

experiment001.mat, experiment002.mat ….. experiment050.mat

simulation001.mat, simulation002.mat ….. simulation050.mat

yes I can use uigetfile('*.mat') to select the desired one, but is there anyway to only show part of them, for example, I enter a string 'test' as input, them only shows the testxxx.mat?

Bests,

Is that that you need?

filename = uigetfile('test*.mat')

MATLAB: How to load files identified by the matlab function of “dir”

See the second code example in the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F

A smiple modification gives you the answer:

myFolder = 'C:\users\leon\documents'; % or whatever.
if ~isdir(myFolder)
  errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s', myFolder);
  uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
  return;
end
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.mat');
matFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1:length(matFiles)
  baseFileName = matFiles(k).name;
  fullFileName = fullfile(myFolder, baseFileName);
  fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
  storedStructure = load(fullFileName);
  % Now do whatever you need to do with the structure you recalled.
end

MATLAB: How to save matlab workplace variables by including original file names

Not sure what you're asking, but I'll take a guess.

You can save both to a single file called "yourMfilename.mat", where yourMfilename is whatever your filename is. For example, if your m-file is called test.m, then you can get test.mat in your code like this using mfilename():

fullMatFileName = sprintf('%s.mat', mfilename('fullpath')); % Get base name from m-file name.


save(fullMatFileName , 'flow', 'pressure');

Or you can save each variable to its own .mat file if you want:

fullMatFileName = sprintf('%s_flow.mat', mfilename('fullpath')); % Get base name from m-file name.
save(fullMatFileName , 'flow');
fullMatFileName = sprintf('%s_pressure.mat', mfilename('fullpath')); % Get base name from m-file name.
save(fullMatFileName, 'pressure');
