The idea is to generate a set similar files, only changing 4 determined lines of the above file (LENGTH,STEP,UBAR,SEED).
Currently I am using this code:
clc
clear all
close all
V = [4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 29];
for j = 1:6
f1 = ['D:\01_department\DLC1-2']
if exist(f1,'dir') ~= 7
mkdir(f1);
end
fname = [f1 '\' 's0' num2str(j)];
if exist(fname,'dir') ~= 7
mkdir(fname);
end
for i = 1:length(V),
filename = [fname '\' num2str(V(i)) '.$PJ'];
fid = fopen(filename,'w');

fclose(fid)
end
end
But this way, the code spends most of the time in writing the output. I would like more doing the same only reading the reference file (with fopen() or other commands) and the changing(printing) only
fprintf(fid, 'LENGTH %g\r\n', V(i)*610)
fprintf(fid, 'STEP %g\r\n', V(i)/13.4295)
fprintf(fid, 'UBAR %g\r\n', V(i))
fprintf(fid, 'SEED %i\r\n', randi(999,1))
within the new files.
Does anybody have an idea how to achieve this result? If possible I also would like to vectorize instead of using for loops.
otherwise, I was thinking this kind of process:
I thank you for the answer and to share the code with me.
As you probably noticed the code is made up of blocks: they start with “MSTART” and end with “MEND”; each MSTART is followed by the label/name of the single block.
In this case the blocks are CONSTANTS and WINDND. I wonder if it is possible to:
1.read the parent file;
2.find the different block the parent file presents;
3.store the information/strings of each block in a Matlab structure;
4.write new files just recalling the blocks of the parent file;
5.look for strings LENGTH, STEP, UBAR, SEED;
6.update the above string with the corresponding formula;
7.store in a specified folder.
The beginning of the code would be:
%# read lines
fid = fopen('file.txt','rt');
C = textscan(fid, '%s', 'Delimiter','\r\n');
C = C{1}; fclose(fid);
%# start/end of each structure
startIdx = find(ismember(C, 'MSTART'));
endIdx = find(ismember(C, 'MEND'));
But then I have no clue how to go on, since I’m only a freshman with Matlab, and especially with text/structure manipulating.
I hope you will be patient with me.
Regards.
I thank you all in advance.
Kindest regards,
Francesco
This should work:
This can still be improved — the strings to be replaced are ideally vectorized, and/or only entered ONCE in the command. But oh well, this should already give you a significant speedup.
