Hi All
I have written an app that using a pushbutton receives the working directory folder adress from the user and changes the matlab wd to that. the other push button is to run an mfile in thatdirectory and then cd() to some subfolder.
Despite I see the global variable shared between app and workspace ,it seems that matlab can not use it and therefore the cd() does not work cause the variable is seen as empty despite it's not
here is the app code :
properties (Access = public)
selectedPath= 'C:\'
end
methods (Access = private)
function ChooseDirectoryButtonPushed(app, event)
global currentFolder
app.selectedPath = uigetdir();
app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';
currentFolder=app.selectedPath;
cd(currentFolder)
end
function ExecuteButtonPushed(app, event)
global currentFolder;
currentFolder=app.selectedPath;
assignin('base','currentFolder',currentFolder);
goFolder = strcat(currentFolder,'\Fsolver.m');
run(goFolder)
app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';
end
end
and the first lines of the mfile :
global currentFolder
inputs =strcat(currentFolder,'\Input')
cd(inputs)
these are the errors :
Error using cd
Cannot CD to \Input (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).
Error in mysolver (line 37)
cd(inputs)
Error in run (line 91)
evalin('caller', strcat(script, ';'));
Error in apprivate/ExecuteButtonPushed (line 39)
run(goFolder)
