Problem in opening and Reading a Binarydata file ??

1 view (last 30 days)
% Here is the code for opening the and reading the data file
file='dspCW2datav2.bin';
fid=fopen(file,'r'); %%%%%% fid= -1 ????
format='double';
data=fread(fid,format);% Reading the binary data in the matlab
So , every time running this , i get an error for using fread . But i now figured out that's happening because fid = -1 , hence this is leading to error in fread .
The error is as follows!!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Error using fread
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.
Error in suvvi_20201366 (line 21)
data=fread(fid,format);% Reading the binary data in the matlab
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Can someone please help me in getting rid of this error ????
Thankyou,
suvvi

The file does not exist or exists in an area that you're not allowed to see. Try this
% Here is the code for opening the and reading the data file
fileName = 'dspCW2datav2.bin';
fid=fopen(fileName, 'r'); %%%%%% fid= -1 ????
if fid == -1
errorMessage = sprintf('You are not allowed to open %s.\nIt was not found on the search path.', fileName);
uiwait(errordlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
format='double';
data=fread(fid,format);% Reading the binary data in the matlab

fileID = fopen('dspCW2datav2.bin');
A = fread(fileID)
Never tried opening bin files, but this should be working. Function fread does not accept the "format" variable, as you can see from documentation.

Your file might not be good, as I downloaded some random bin file from internet and used commands above and it worked. Search for similar topics.
