Writing data into a text file - fprintf
1 回表示 (過去 30 日間)
古いコメントを表示
Hello,
I'm beginner and I'm trying to program an experiment but I can not write data into a text file.
I am using functions in the main file. In main m file there are outputs such as ReactionTime but the Matlab gives this error: Unrecognized function or variable 'ReactionTime'.
I'm sharing here the savedata function. Where do I do wrong?
Thank you.
function savedata()
%openfile
clear all;
answer{1} = '02';
filename1 = sprintf('Posner_%s.txt', answer{1});
filename2 = sprintf('%s\\%s', cd, filename1);
fid = fopen(filename2, 'wt');
fclose(fid);
%savedata
fprintf(fid, 'Reaction Time: %d', ReactionTime) ;
fclose(fid);
end

Note that just after ‘filename2’ is opened, it is immediately closed:
fid = fopen(filename2, 'wt');
fclose(fid);
That could cause problems here:
%savedata
fprintf(fid, 'Reaction Time: %d', ReactionTime) ;
So even if ‘ReactionTime’ is defined and passed to the ‘savedata’ function as an argument (as it should be, rather than as a global variable), the function will throw this error:
Error using fprintf
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.
I did that experiment to verify it.
For what it’s worth, I agree with others that global variables are not to be used. It is always possible to avoid using them by passing the variables as arguments to the functions using them.

You need to pass the ReactionTime variable in as an input.
function savedata(ReactionTime)
. . .
%savedata
fprintf(fid, 'Reaction Time: %d', ReactionTime) ;
fclose(fid);
end
Also, to create filenames, instead of sprintf() use fullfile().
As Asad pointed out, the first fclose(fid) should be removed.

Ah, good!
So now you know about permissions with the fopen function.

You should use variables like ReactionTime as global
Use this code after the function definition:
global ReactionTime cd
Use the same global command in the calling program
Also, the first fclose(fid); should not be used

There is rarely a good reason to use global variables and they usually cause more problems than they solve.
See #2
'cd' is probably the current directory command in which case it doesn't need to be passed in as a variable.
Asad is correct that the first fclose(fid) should be removed.

You definitely should NOT use global variables.
Using global variables is bad advice in any programming language, and should be avoided in MATLAB too:
Using cd slows down code and makes debugging more difficult. The more efficient and recommended approach is to use absolute/relative filenames:
