How to read text file in object oriented programming ?

3 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I would like to know how can I read a text or an excel file in the object oriented programming ? I have a simple code like this.
|
classdef diego
properties
column
sampleRate = 1000
end
methods
function y = readtext(this)
fileID = fopen(this);
C = textscan(fileID,'%f %f %f %f %f %f %f');
fclose(fileID);
disp([num2str(this.file),' is the chosen column is',num2str(this.file)]);
disp(['The chosen column of the text file is ',num2str(this.column)]);
y = C;
end
end
end
As you can see, I would like to read a text with readtext method. How can I overcome with this problem? Thanks

The problem is that this, the first input to your function readtext, is the object not the text file. If you want to pass the text file name in, make it the second input:
d = diego
readtext(d,'file.txt')
And then you readtext signature should be:
function y = readtext(this,filename)
% this is object, filename is file name.
fid = fopen(filename);
% etc
