how read data from different folders ?

1 view (last 30 days)
hello i have written code attaching bellow, i can read data from single folder by giving a path. but i dont know what syntax i can use to read all data. please give me any method so i can read all data from all sub folders and can use bellow code on them,
g
clear all
close all
clc
initialdir = cd();
folder = 'E:\brodata\2011\01\01';
outputfolder = 'E:\20';
cd(folder);
temp = dir();
brofilenames = [];
flag_1 = 0 ;
for i = 1:numel(temp);
if (strncmp(temp(i).name, '.', 1) == 1);
flag_1 = flag_1 +1 ;
else
brofilenames{i-flag_1} = temp(i).name ;
end
end
filetime = nan(size(brofilenames,2),1);
broperday= cell(size(brofilenames,2),1);
for file = 1:size(brofilenames,2)
fname = char(brofilenames(file)); % to make the file name a character array
if (size(fname,2)==84)
filetime(file) = datenum(fname(end-42:end),'yyyymmddHHMMss')
end
file_id = H5F.open(fname) ;
BrO_data = h5read(fname,'/TOTAL_COLUMNS/BrO'); % to read BrO data
centrelat_data = h5read(fname,'/GEOLOCATION/LatitudeCentre' );% to read latitude values
centrelon_data = h5read(fname,'/GEOLOCATION/LongitudeCentre' );% to read longitude values
data = numel(BrO_data);
H5F.close(file_id);
tempdata = nan(numel(BrO_data),3);
for i = 1:numel(BrO_data)
tempdata(i,1)= centrelat_data(i);
tempdata(i,2)= centrelon_data(i);
tempdata(i,3)= BrO_data(i);
end
broperday{file} = tempdata;
end
for i = 1:size(broperday,1)
broperday{i,2} = filetime(i,1);
end
cd(outputfolder)
save('broperday.mat', 'broperday');

pruth - is this the example folder?
folder = 'E:\brodata\2011\01\01';
Are you just interested in all subfolders of 2011 or all subfolders of brodata?

all subfolders of brodata.

See my attached code. It uses genpath() to generate a list of all folders within a top level folder that you specify, Then it gets a list of all files according to some file pattern that you specify. Once you have the file name, you can process it however you wish.
