Is it possible to input data to an UItable and get the data as a Workspace

Hello,

i want to make an userfriendly GUI where you can copy paste your data from anywhere into an UItable. After pasting the data it should be available as a workspace in matlab. Is this possible? or am i thinking to big? I think it should be relativly easy shoulndt it?!

regards JT

Jelthe - do you really to save the data to the workspace (as a variable) or could you save as a mat file instead (which would then persist between sessions)? Why must the data be exported to the workspace? Please clarify what your GUI is attempting to do.

Note that, depending upon your data, you may find it difficult to copy and paste data into your UI table.

I wanted to do some fancystuff for a common use of the programm. The code itself calculates pulsedurations. And i want to copy the input data from a .txt file and paste it in the GUI table so i have data for the calculation. Of course i could just copy paste it directly as a Workspacevariable. But i want it to be more userfriendly with GUItable etc.

thanks.

You can set() the Data property of a uitable. You can create it either as a numeric array or a cell array. You can get() the Data property of a uitable . It will be either a numeric array or a cell array. You can process it afterwards.

However, there is no way to manipulate workspaces in MATLAB, only variables and graphic objects.

In MATLAB, workspaces do not have any user-accessible existence as independent items. You cannot store or retrieve a workspace.
