inserting contents of text file into a Listbox

Hello. I have a text file that has a list of images that need processing (crop them and resave). So I am wanting to open the text file, and display the contents (=list of image files to be cropped) into a listbox. I can open the text file OK, but then I can't get its contents into the listbox:

while ischar(tline)
        tline = (fgetl(fid1))
        set(handles.listbox,'String',{tline})       
end
fclose(fid1);

Thankyou.

for anyone else reading, I also found another way.

   tline = (fgetl(fid1));       
           str{i}=tline;
           set(handles.listbox1,'String',str);
           i=i+1;

Note : your method will take more time because you are updating the listbox at every iteration of the loop (long list -> long time), so you just should put the update line outside the loop.

str = [];
i   = 0;
while ~feof(fid)
  i = i+1;
  str{i} = fgetl(fid);
end
set(handles.listbox1,'String',str);

Hi,

I guess you need this :

% Read the list in the text file "TextFile.txt"
fid = fopen('TextFile.txt','r');
MyList = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n');
fclose(fid);

% put the list in the listbox
set(handles.listbox1,'String',MyList{:});
