Thread Subject:

xlsread

I was wondering if you can user input to xlsread.

For example:

filename = input('Enter the Excel file: ','s');
excelfile = xlsread(filename);

This doesn't work, but I'm wondering if there is actually a way to do that without assuming you already know the file to read?

[baseFileName, folder] = uigetfile('*.xl*', 'Specify an Excel file');
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
[num txt raw] = xlsread(fullFileName );

That is FABULOUS!
