Uiimport does not save variable to base workspace
- by Tim
I tried using uiimport to load a file to the base workspace.....It worked first time....but after trying again after a while...I wasnt seeing the variable in the base work space.
I used the default variable name which is given by 'uiimport".
This was the command I used:
uiimport(filename)
And two variables where created by default..."data" and "textdata"(which is the header)....but now when i run it is no longer saved in the base workspace
I do not want to assign a variable to the uiimport like so...
K = uiimport(filename)
assignin(base,'green',K)
I do not want to do that because
My dataset has a text header and the data itself, and doing this would assign both "textdata" and "data" to "green" variable
How would I be able to get the dimensions of ONLY the "data" in green and how would I pass only "data"(which is in the green variable in the workspace.."rmbr"...the green variable holds both "data" and "textdata") to another function.
I was able to do all this when the uiimport automatically saved the variables in the base workspace....but somehow now it doesn't.
I would appreciate any help or tips on this matter
