I finally found out... More or less this is the code that does the job I want =)

hdf_files = dir('MOD08_M3.A*.hdf');
for k = 1:length(hdf_files)
    filename = hdf_files(k).name;
    data = hdfread(filename, 'LST_Day_CMG');
end

Thank you very much for your help!

Ricardo-

You have to somehow gather the list of names. Perhaps in your case, you get the names like this:

names = dir(‘MOD08_M3.A*.hdf’);

Once you do, you can loop over the names similar to the example above.

I want to open a list of files with a common name scheme of this type: “filestart + changing characters”.

Example:

MOD08_M3.A2000032.005.2006255182125.hdf
MOD08_M3.A2000061.005.2008271011815.hdf
MOD08_M3.A2000092.005.2006265004700.hdf
MOD08_M3.A2000122.005.2006256101527.hdf

I’m having problems with filling in the changing characters of the filenames… =(

Thanks for your help.

Ibrahim- Use the functional form for writing your report and build up the filename, something like this:

for n = 1:numFiles
  fn = ['report', int2str(n), '.xls');
  % now use this filename, e.g.,
  xlswrite(fn, ...)
end

I run my program n times, each time I want to save run report in a file called test_report.xls. during the run time, the file should be test_report1.xls, test_report2.xls, ….,test_reportn.xls. please let me know how can I do that (adding 1, 2 ,…,n to the file name)

Thanks
Ibrahim

MJ-

Got any guesses since it’s wavwrite to write them out? Try using lookfor at the MATLAB prompt or searching the doc. What happens if you look up wavwrite? Does it help you at all?

How do I import WAV files into MATLAB for analysis of sound waves?

Is it allowed to shamefully plug for my own contribution in FileExchange in this context? Filefun will handle these kind of tasks in a seemingly vectorized fashion á la cellfun et al.

Brad: Thanks. Agree about the speed. I put in a enhancement request in for this.

Michael: Thanks. That’s perfect. To get to the end result needed: [nameWithSpace{:}] strings everything out into a char array.

@StephenL:

You can have the concatenation even easier, without resorting to arrayfun and anonymous functions:

files = dir(’*.mat’);
namesWithSpace = strcat(newpath,{files.name},{‘ ‘});
