Matlab: String variables to fopen()

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In MATLAB, the function fopen() requires a character array rather than a string variable for file paths. Users can convert string variables to character arrays using the char() function. This conversion allows for the dynamic creation of multiple file paths stored in a cell array, which can then be passed to fopen() without issues. The solution effectively resolves the problem of file handling in MATLAB.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB programming language
  • Understanding of string and character array data types in MATLAB
  • Knowledge of cell arrays in MATLAB
  • Basic file handling concepts in MATLAB using fopen()
NEXT STEPS

  • Learn about cell arrays and their applications in MATLAB
  • Investigate advanced file handling techniques in MATLAB
  • Study error handling in file operations using fopen() in MATLAB
USEFUL FOR

MATLAB programmers, data analysts, and anyone involved in file management and manipulation within MATLAB environments.

HI

can't I pass the path of a file as a string variable to fopen() , like this:

path = 'aadada'

fopen(path)

I want to do create many files, the paths have a logic, so I can put them in cell array and than I want to pass them to fopen() , but fopen doesn't accept a string variable, this is strange.

problem solved, just use char() to make characters of path
