Problem with file loading in for loop

Hi there,

I am trying to analyze a bunch of mat files by loading them in a for loop. I am also saving the output in a structure. The code runs smoothly for a while but after some iterations exits with the following error:

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.6) thread 0:

Error using load
Can't read file
/home/tushar/tushar/OXYGEN/part62_oxy_240.mat.

Error in PART_STATS(line 17)
    Data = load(files(ii).name); %......Data will store the latest file name
    variable (AS a struct)

When I ran the code on some other files, it ran without a problem. Could someone help me with this error.

Thanks,

Tushar

Could you try loading that file by itself and see if it works that way? We need to isolate whether the problem is the file, or is in the fact that a bunch of files were read in series.

The mat-file, which causes this error, is most likely corrupt. Have you tried

>> load part62_oxy_240.mat

in the command window?

Thanks guys,

It is that file that is the issue. It was corrupt. Hopefully I do not get such scary messages again. Thanks again for your time and help.
