Question

I have a mat file with 10 (columns) x 3 (rows) of data and I would like to retrieve these data to produce some readable output via certain functions. For example, the first column of data is 1 0 0 and the output will be Yes.

May I know how can I perform the first step, which is how to retrieve/read the data from the mat file which saved in laptop?

Answer 1

Assuming the name of your ‘.mat’ file as ‘xyz.mat’ and the variable stored in .mat file had same name as the file.

load('xyz.mat') % loads xyz.mat into workspace.
if xyz(:,1)==[1;0;0],
answer='yes'
end          

Note: Here I have assumed that array xyz was stored as xyz.mat , if the array name was different from filename given to the .mat file then you will have to use the array name in the if statement . e.g. if you stored an array named abcd as xyz.mat then when you use load(‘xyz.mat’) the array gets loaded with its original name (abcd) and not the file name xyz
