Giving a string variable as a filename in matlab

Tag: string,matlab,filenames

I am using the below mentioned code to get the file names of images according to their id's from images_1 text file as strings and use them to read the images from their directory

image_count=1;
for image_count=1:6
    file=fopen('D:\Academics\New folder\CUB_200_2011\images_1.txt','r');
    C = textscan(file, '%s');
    original_image=imread('D:\Academics\New folder\CUB_200_2011\images\%s','C{1}{2*(image_count)}');
    imshow(original_image)
end

I am able to get the file name but not able to use it. This code shows the following error-

'File "D:\Academics\New folder\CUB_200_2011\images\%s" does not exist.

I am a bit new to matlab, can anyone please help me.

Best How To :

You would need to change your back slashes \ to forward slashes /, otherwise some \ followed by a letter may be commands in the sprintffunction, like for example \N or \a. See sprintf documentation in the formatSpecarea for more information.

original_image=imread(sprintf('D:/Academics/New folder/CUB_200_2011/images/%s', C{1}{2*(image_count)}));

C++11 Allocation Requirement on Strings

c++,string,c++11,memory,standards

Section 21.4.1.5 of the 2011 standard states: The char-like objects in a basic_string object shall be stored contiguously. That is, for any basic_string object s, the identity &*(s.begin() + n) == &*s.begin() + n shall hold for all values of n such that 0 <= n < s.size(). The two...

char* string substract function throws exception

c++,arrays,string,char

The first obvious mistake you're doing here is this: char* temp = new char[255]; temp = this->c_str(); You allocate memory then you're copying the value of a pointer. So first you're getting a memory leak and second depending on your implementation of c_str() you are copying the address of something...

Why black surf from this Matlab command?

matlab,time-frequency

My bet is that trf is a very large matrix. In these cases, the surface has so many edges (coloured black by default) that they completely clutter the image, and you don't see the surface patches One solution for that is to remove the edges: surf(trf, 'edgecolor', 'none'). Example: with...

How to access variables in the properties block of a Matlab System Object?

matlab,simulink

You should be able to use properties s = 100; d = zeros(1,100); end right? If you already have the 100 as a default for s, you should also be able to provide this as part of the default for d. I'm guessing that you're trying to avoid doing that...

Reading all the files in sequence in MATLAB

.cpp:23: error: cannot convert ‘std::string’ to ‘const char*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘int atoi(const char*)’

Use stoi, it's the modern C++ version of C's atoi. Update: Since the original answer text above the question was amended with the following error message: ‘stoi’ was not declared in this scope Assuming this error was produced by g++ (which uses that wording), this can have two different causes:...

Unless you have some implementation bug (test your code with synthetic, well separated data), the problem might lay in the class imbalance.

matlab,events,delay

The "weird behavior and lag" you see is almost always a result of callbacks interrupting each other's execution, and repeated unnecessary executions of the same callbacks piling up. To avoid this, you can typically set the Interruptible property of the control/component to 'off' instead of the default 'on', and set...
