matfile_varreadnext
Reads next variable in a Matlab binary MAT-file.
Syntax
[name, value, vartype] = matfile_varreadnext(fd)
Arguments
- fd
file identifier (integer) as returned by matfile_open.
- name
string: name of the returned variable, or
""if reading failed.- value
value of the variable read, or [] if reading failed.
- vartype
integer: Matlab type of the variable if reading succeeds, or
- 0: if the variable type is unknown.
- -1: if end of file has been reached.
Description
Reads next variable in a Matlab binary MAT-file opened with matfile_open.
Examples
// Preparing some data H = rand(2,4,2); N = complex(rand(2,3), rand(2,3)); I = int8(grand(4,10,"uin",-100,100)); T = ["foo" "bar"]'; S = struct("num",H, "imag",N, "text",T, "int",I); C = {"Scilab", rand(2,3); H, S}; // Saving them File = TMPDIR+"/matfile_listvar_example.mat"; savematfile(File,'-v7.3', 'H','N','I','T','S','C'); // Reading variables one by one: fd = matfile_open(File, "r", "7.3"); //-- Loop on the stored variables while %t [Name, Value, Type] = matfile_varreadnext(fd); if Type<0 then break else mprintf("The variable ""%s"" has type %d and contains\n", Name, Type); disp(Value); end end matfile_close(fd); sleep(2000) deletefile(File)
--> // Reading variables one by one:
--> fd = matfile_open(File, "r", "7.3");
--> //-- Loop on the stored variables
--> while %t
> [Name, Value, Type] = matfile_varreadnext(fd);
> if Type<0 then
> break
> else
> mprintf("The variable ""%s"" has type %d and contains\n", Name, Type);
> disp(Value);
> end
> end
