Question

In matlab how to make it that i can be able to type in the file that I would like to test and to be able to test what algorithm i have. This is what i have so far. But I need help fixing the rest. Please help I need this asap.

function FunctionAlgorithm()
disp("Welcome to ___________ algorithm")
filename =
file = input('Type in the file to test: ');
number = input('Type the number of the algorithm you want to run.');

end

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

For this you need to know the line that your Algorithm starts and ends

Matlab code --

function line= FunctionAlgorithm() %this function returns matrix line which contains required lines from file. On this matrix line, %the algorithm can be ran in separate function or in script

fid = fopen('filename','rt');

nlines = 0; %calculating no of lines in file

while (fgets(fid) ~= -1),

nlines = nlines+1;

end

fclose(fid);

C = textread('filename', '%s','delimiter', '\n');

lm1=3; % starting line to read (taking 3 for example)

lm2=7; %end line to read (taking 7 for example)

temp=1;

lm=lm1;

while lm <= lm2 && lm <=nlines

line(temp,:)=C{lm};

lm=lm+1;

temp=temp+1;

end

end
