How can I fix java.io.Fi​leNotFound​Exception errors for .tmp files occurring while writing to excel files?

Hi,

I'm receiving the following error when executing scripts that involve writing to excel files:

FileSystemView.getShellFolder: f=C:\Matlab execution\67D0ECB0.tmp java.io.FileNotFoundException: File C:\Matlab execution\67D0ECB0.tmp not found at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2.createShellFolder(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2.createShellFolder(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.getShellFolder(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.getShellFolder(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.getSystemIcon(Unknown Source) at com.mathworks.jmi.MLFileIconUtils.getNativeFileIcon(MLFileIconUtils.java:242) at com.mathworks.jmi.MLFileIconUtils.getFileIcon(MLFileIconUtils.java:102) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.extensions.basic.DefaultFileInfoProvider$1.run(DefaultFileInfoProvider.java:64) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.FileDecorationModel$DeferHandler.run(FileDecorationModel.java:390) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.FileDecorationModel$2.get(FileDecorationModel.java:275) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.util.UiFileSystemUtils.getDecorationSynchronously(UiFileSystemUtils.java:125) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.util.UiFileSystemUtils.getDecorationSynchronously(UiFileSystemUtils.java:98) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.table.FileSystemExpansionProvider.getDecoration(FileSystemExpansionProvider.java:124) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.table.FileSystemExpansionProvider.getDecoration(FileSystemExpansionProvider.java:129) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.table.IconColumn$1.convert(IconColumn.java:38) at com.mathworks.mlwidgets.explorer.model.table.IconColumn$1.convert(IconColumn.java:35) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTableColumn.getValue(GroupingTableColumn.java:141) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTableRow.getValueAt(GroupingTableRow.java:474) at com.jidesoft.grid.TreeTableModel.getValueAt(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JTable.getValueAt(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.grid.CellSpanTable.getValueAt(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.grid.JideTable.prepareRenderer(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.grid.CellStyleTable.prepareRenderer(Unknown Source) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTableUIDelegate.paintCell(GroupingTableUIDelegate.java:66) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTableUIDelegate.paintSpanCells(GroupingTableUIDelegate.java:373) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTableUIDelegate.paint(GroupingTableUIDelegate.java:141) at com.jidesoft.plaf.basic.BasicCellSpanTableUI.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI.update(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintComponent(Unknown Source) at com.jidesoft.grid.CellStyleTable.paintComponent(Unknown Source) at com.mathworks.widgets.grouptable.GroupingTable.paintComponent(GroupingTable.java:267) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintToOffscreen(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$PaintManager.paintDoubleBuffered(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager$PaintManager.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paint(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent._paintImmediately(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintImmediately(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.seqPaintDirtyRegions(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities$ComponentWorkRequest.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

I would really appreciate how to fix/stop this!

The error doesn't occur every time, but it does roughly 50% of the time the code is run.

Thanks, Nish

Hi Nish,

I was able to fix a similar problem by using ActiveX instead of xlswrite. I posted the answer to my own question here.

Hope this helps,
