thanks doug

I used to work with my ascii files as you explain. I even write a code called INT2STRZ
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/12973
to work around with files named data001.txt, data002.txt, etc.

Now I prefer to use another way. First I search for the files names and create a list with the LS command (in windows) which allows me to use the wildcard ‘*’ and then I just pick the file I need. So, your code will look like this:

list = ls('data*.txt'); % Files names on rows (WIN OS)
for k = 1:size(list,1)
 fileName = deblank(list(k,:)); % Name of k-file
 dataStruc.(fileName) = load(fileName);
end

Of course, there is an extra line, and one should be aware that all ‘data*.txt’ files will be read! Other safer way is to save the filenames on a file and read instead of use LS. Well, just a thought

See here for the details on compiling with associted scripts:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/compiler/f13-1003481.html#f13-1003495

A basic example of the old script-based m-file is:

Latitude = 49.3824;
Longitude = -80.4862;
Altitude = 300;

As a csv file, this is:
Latitude,49.3824
Longitude,-80.4862
Altitude,300

To make those variables available and to replace the

eval([filename '_model_parameters']);

command, I have this:

% Get data from csv files
fid = fopen(filename '_model_parameters.csv');
inputs = textscan(fid,'%s%f','delimiter',',');
fclose(fid);

% Separate variables from values
vars = genvarname(inputs{1,1});
vals = inputs{1,2};

% Assign values to variables
for i = 1:size(vars,1)
        eval([cell2mat(vars(i)) '= vals(i);']);
end

Thanks (again) to Doug,
Jason.

For example, if I had a series of parameters as a script (a .m file), this won’t work with the compiler:

eval([filename ‘_model_parameters’]);

Is there an equivalent with load that would work?

Thanks for the videos.
Jason.
