Question

I need to check whether a text file in a folder exists. If it does, I need to load the value from the text file. If not, I need to carry on with the next iteration.

I know how to load the value from the text file using the function called load.

e.g.

emo = load(fullfile(BASE_DIR,List1(3).name));

But I’m not sure how to check whether a text file exists in the folder.

Need help in this. Really would appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Use the EXIST function.

if exist( fullfile( BASE_DIR, List1(3).name ), 'file' )
  ...
end
