Is there a way to assign file names to set varibles using a GUI? Say I have 6 file sets which contain 4 colors each (blue, green, nir, red). There are 24 files in total, so i'd need 24 variables. And I want the set varialbes to be something like
blue1
green1
nir1
red1
blue2
green2
nir2
red2
etc...
Currently I'm trying to use GUIDE to creat a custom GUI that will allow the user to select the files they wish and have them assigned to certain variables. I am thinking something along the lines of having 24 popupmenus that are attached to a file directory and allows the user to select which file they want, and then it will assign that file and it's path to a variable (blue1 for example) I also want 24 check boxes to associate with an if statement
Let's say popupmenu1 is associated with the variable blue1 and checkbox1
if checkbox1 == checked
do import
elseif checkbox1 == unchecked
fill with zeros
I have the basic frame of the GUI created, I am just unclear on how to apply the file select and then associate the if statements, etc...
If you know the variable files in advance, it's bad practice (look also here and here) to use string defined variable names like this:
var1name = 'blue';
var2name = 'red';
% etc.
% load data
datablue=rand(4,1);
datared =rand(4,1);
% assign
eval([var1name '1 = datablue(1);']);
eval([var2name '1 = datared (1);']);
% etc.
eval([var1name '2 = datablue(2);']);
eval([var2name '1 = datared (2);']);
% etc
It's much easier and better to just use an ordinary array, given the variable name is not changing or application dependend, which in my example I already have as datablue and datared.
Another option if you'd like user defined variable names is to use an array of structs:
var1name = 'blue';
var2name = 'red';
sample(1).(var1name) = datablue(1);
sample(1).(var2name) = datared (1);
% ...
sample(2).(var1name) = datablue(2);
sample(2).(var2name) = datared (2);
Try some of these out, and only if you have a very good reason, resort to eval!
for k = 1:6
blue(k) = sprintf('blue%d', k);
green(k) = sprintf('green%d', k);
nir(k) = sprintf('nir%d', k);
red(k) = sprintf('red%d', k);
end
This will create the variable names for you. Then you can use assignin (i believe) or eval to set the values to the variable names.

I have a script where I have multiple folders each with three audio files in them ID#_1, ID#_2, and ID#_3. The user can input a string of different ID#s, one after the other, and then the script recognizes the different IDs and runs the code for each of them.
I have a for loop set up for this -
form Settings
comment Enter the IDs of the different subjects
sentence subjectIDs
endform
numOfSubjects = length(subjectIDs$)/4
for i from 0 to (numOfSubjects - 1)
subjectID$ = mid$(subjectIDs$, 1 + 4*i, 4 + 4*i)
outFile$ = subjectID$ + "/SubjectResponseOnsets" + subjectID$ + ".txt"
path$ = subjectID$ + "/" + subjectID$
#firstOutput
#secondOutput
#thirdOutput'
Each of these procedures is defined previously in the code, and they basically output certain ranges from the audio files out to a text file.
The code seems to work fine and generate the output file correctly when one ID is given, but when I try to run it with more than one ID at a time, only the text file for the first ID is outputted.
The for loop does not seem to be working well, but the code does work fine in the first run.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
I don't know if I understood well what your script was trying to do, since the snippet you pasted was incomplete. It's best if you provide code that is executable as is. In this case, you were missing the closing endfor, and you were calling some procedures that were not defined in your snippet (not even as placeholders). I had to write some dummy procedures just to make it run.
Since you also didn't say how your script was failing, it was unclear what needed to be fixed. So I took a stab at making it work.
It sounded as if your ID splitting code was giving you some problems. I took the split procedure from the utils plugin available through CPrAN, which makes inputting the IDs easier (full disclosure: I wrote that plugin).
form Settings
comment Enter the IDs of the different subjects
sentence subjectIDs 01 02 03
endform
#split: " ", subjectIDs$
numOfSubjects = split.length
for i to numOfSubjects
subjectID$ = split.return$[i]
path$ = subjectID$
outFile$ = path$ + "/SubjectResponseOnsets" + subjectID$ + ".txt"
# Make sure output directory exists
createDirectory: path$
#firstOutput
#secondOutput
#thirdOutput
endfor
procedure firstOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "First"
endproc
procedure secondOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "Second"
endproc
procedure thirdOutput ()
appendFileLine: outFile$, "Third"
endproc
# split procedure from the utils CPrAN plugin
# http://cpran.net/plugins/utils
procedure split (.sep$, .str$)
.seplen = length(.sep$)
.length = 0
repeat
.strlen = length(.str$)
.sep = index(.str$, .sep$)
if .sep > 0
.part$ = left$(.str$, .sep-1)
.str$ = mid$(.str$, .sep+.seplen, .strlen)
else
.part$ = .str$
endif
.length = .length+1
.return$[.length] = .part$
until .sep = 0
endproc
If this is not what you are having trouble with, you'll have to be more specific.
The code I'm using imports data from multiple files and saves them into an array of cells, the code is as follows:
[FileName,PathName,FilterIndex] = uigetfile('*.txt*','MultiSelect','on');
numfiles = size(FileName,2);
FileData= cell(1,numfiles);
for ii = 1:numfiles
FileName{ii};
A=[];
entirefile =fullfile(PathName,FileName{ii});
fid = fopen(entirefile);
tline = fgets(fid);
while ischar(tline)
parts = textscan(tline, '%f;');
if numel(parts{1}) > 0
A = [ A ; parts{:}' ];
end
tline = fgets(fid);
end
fclose(fid);
FileData{ii} = A;
A = FileData{ii};
X = A(:,1);
Y = A(:,5);
DataToUse = [X,Y];
end
Now my issue is I want to use the first DataToUse created by the loop, which will be data from the first file, seperatley to the other files but I can not issolate it. I have tried DataToUse(1), DataToUse(1,1) and DataToUse(:,[1,2]) but none are working for me. An example of the type of data would be:
DataToUse=
0.0762 0.0271
0.0763 0.2671
0.0764 0.4079
0.0765 0.0510
0.0766 0.0087
0.0767 0.0099
0.0768 0.0067
0.0769 0.0047
0.0770 0.0047
0.0771 0.0349
0.0772 0.2094
0.0773 0.2740
0.0774 0.0294
0.0775 0.0100
0.0776 0.0159
I have different numbers of this kind of data depending on how many files are selected but I would like to only use the first initially and use the others later. Anybody know how I can go about doing this? Many thanks in advance
The solution is to use cell arrays, like so:
DataToUse{ii} = [X, Y]
To get the desired output put this after your for-loop:
firstLoopXY = DataToUse{1}
Enjoy!
Hiya i have made a program that stores the player name and strength..Here is the code:
data = {
"PLAYER":name2,
"STRENGTH":str(round(strength, 2)),
}
with open("data2.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8") as file:
file.write(repr(data))
file.close()
So this stores the data so what to i do if i wanna append/change the value after a certain action usch as a 'BATTLE'
Is it possible the get the variable of 'STRENGTH' and then change the number?
At the moment to read data from the external file 'DATA1.txt'i am using this code:
with open("data1.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
data_string = file.readline()
data = eval(data_string)
# (data["STRENGTH"])
S1 = (float(data["STRENGTH"]))
file.close()
Now i can do something with the variable --> 'S1'
Here is the external text file 'data1.txt'
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': '11.75'}
... But i wanna change the strength value after a "battle" many thanks
Maybe you're not understanding Python dict semantics?
Seems to me you're doing a lot of unnecessary things like S1 = (float(data['STRENGTH'])) to try to manipulate and change values when you could be doing really simple stuff.
>>> data = {'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': '11.75'}
>>> data['STRENGTH'] = float(data['STRENGTH'])
>>> data
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': 11.75}
>>> data['STRENGTH'] += 1
>>> data
{'PLAYER': 'Oreo', 'STRENGTH': 12.75}
Maybe you should give Native Data Types -- Dive Into Python 3 a read to see if it clears things up.
I need help with matlab using 'strtok' to find an ID in a text file and then read in or manipulate the rest of the row that is contained where that ID is. I also need this function to find (using strtok preferably) all occurrences of that same ID and group them in some way so that I can find averages. On to the sample code:
ID list being input:
(This is the KOIName variable)
010447529
010468501
010481335
010529637
010603247......etc.
File with data format:
(This is the StarData variable)
ID>>>>Values
002141865 3.867144e-03 742.000000 0.001121 16.155089 6.297494 0.001677
002141865 5.429278e-03 1940.000000 0.000477 16.583748 11.945627 0.001622
002141865 4.360715e-03 1897.000000 0.000667 16.863406 13.438383 0.001460
002141865 3.972467e-03 2127.000000 0.000459 16.103060 21.966853 0.001196
002141865 8.542932e-03 2094.000000 0.000421 17.452007 18.067214 0.002490
Do not be mislead by the examples I posted, that first number is repeated for about 15 lines then the ID changes and that goes for an entire set of different ID's, then they are repeated as a whole group again, think [1,2,3],[1,2,3], the main difference is the values trailing the ID which I need to average out in matlab.
My current code is:
function Avg_Koi
N = evalin('base', 'KOIName');
file_1 = evalin('base', 'StarData');
global result;
for i=1:size(N)
[id, values] = strtok(file_1);
result = result(id);
result = result(values)
end
end
Thanks for any assistance.
You let us guess a lot, so I guess you want something like this:
load StarData.txt
IDs = { 010447529;
010468501;
010481335;
010529637;
010603247;
002141865}
L = numel(IDs);
values = cell(L,1);
% Iteration through all arrays and creating an cell array with matrices for every ID
for ii=1:L;
ID = IDs{ii};
ID_first = find(StarData(:,1) == ID,1,'first');
ID_last = find(StarData(:,1) == ID,1,'last');
values{ii} = StarData( ID_first:ID_last , 2:end );
end
When you now access the index ii=6 adressing the ID = 002141865
MatrixOfCertainID6 = values{6};
you get:
0.0038671440 742 0.001121 16.155089 6.2974940 0.001677
0.0054292780 1940 0.000477 16.583748 11.945627 0.001622
0.0043607150 1897 0.000667 16.863406 13.438383 0.001460
0.0039724670 2127 0.000459 16.103060 21.966853 0.001196
0.0085429320 2094 0.000421 17.452007 18.067214 0.002490
... for further calculations.
Python 3 program allows people to choose from list of employee names.
Data held on text file look like this: ('larry', 3, 100)
(being the persons name, weeks worked and payment)
I need a way to assign each part of the text file to a new variable,
so that the user can enter a new amount of weeks and the program calculates the new payment.
Below is my code and attempt at figuring it out.
import os
choices = [f for f in os.listdir(os.curdir) if f.endswith(".txt")]
print (choices)
emp_choice = input("choose an employee:")
file = open(emp_choice + ".txt")
data = file.readlines()
name = data[0]
weeks_worked = data[1]
weekly_payment= data[2]
new_weeks = int(input ("Enter new number of weeks"))
new_payment = new_weeks * weekly_payment
print (name + "will now be paid" + str(new_payment))
currently you are assigning the first three lines form the file to name, weeks_worked and weekly_payment. but what you want (i think) is to separate a single line, formatted as ('larry', 3, 100) (does each file have only one line?).
so you probably want code like:
from re import compile
# your code to choose file
line_format = compile(r"\s*\(\s*'([^']*)'\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*\)")
file = open(emp_choice + ".txt")
line = file.readline() # read the first line only
match = line_format.match(line)
if match:
name, weeks_worked, weekly_payment = match.groups()
else:
raise Exception('Could not match %s' % line)
# your code to update information
the regular expression looks complicated, but is really quite simple:
\(...\) matches the parentheses in the line
\s* matches optional spaces (it's not clear to me if you have spaces or not
in various places between words, so this matches just in case)
\d+ matches a number (1 or more digits)
[^']* matches anything except a quote (so matches the name)
(...) (without the \ backslashes) indicates a group that you want to read
afterwards by calling .groups()
and these are built from simpler parts (like * and + and \d) which are described at http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html
if you want to repeat this for many lines, you probably want something like:
name, weeks_worked, weekly_payment = [], [], []
for line in file.readlines():
match = line_format.match(line)
if match:
name.append(match.group(1))
weeks_worked.append(match.group(2))
weekly_payment.append(match.group(3))
else:
raise ...
