Delete a file on click of Pushbutton

Hi all !!!!

I have created a GUI(fig). It has one editbox and one pushbutton on it.

I have some dat files like (1.dat, 2.dat, 3.dat etc.).

I want to delete the dat file which is entered in that editbox(like 1,2,3 etc...).

I have written the following code for pushbutton_callback :

delID=get(handles.editDel,’String’);

delete(‘delId.dat’);

but when I click pushbutton, nothing happens….

Please Help ….

Thank You….

Try:

delete([delID, '.dat'])

Explanation: delID is a variable that contains character string. To construct the file name, you need to concatenate the variable with '.dat'. When you specify 'del1ID.dat', you're looking for a file called 'del1ID.dat', which you obviously don't have.
