Extracting multiple data files using a loop for each filename

4 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I am trying to extract data using the abfload function. I have multiple sets of data say: A1.abf, B2.abf, C3.abf etc and I want to extract them, plot and save these plots. I can easily just do:
if true
abfload(A1.abf)
fnam=[fstring, 'szfcsa.eps'];
figure;
plot(A1);
saveas(gcf,['C:blahblah,filesep,fnam],'eps');
end
(where I define the strings earlier) Is there someway of doing all of this in a loop? When i try:
if true
for i = {'A1.abf','B2.abf','C3.abf'}
abfload(i);
figure;
plot(i);
end
end
I get errors, I am also unsure how i would go about saving these plots

This question is asked a lot , probably more than any other question. See the FAQ for code samples: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F

Did you see the second code example there? You can use dir() to put in any file pattern you want, for example dir('*.abf'). You can sort what you get back if you want, or take it just as the operating system gives it to you.
