How do I load text files into the GUI workspace?

2 views (last 30 days)
I have a GUI in which I am trying to load data (from a txt file) from the directory in which the GUI code is at. I will also be manipulating this data within the GUI also.
I have tried the simple load command within the GUI code, but that does not work.
I am thinking of adding buttons and using uigetfile to load the files, but that isn't as discrete as I would like it to be.

You mention that you used a simpler way--please post that as an additional answer to the question.

You can get the path to your mfile with mfilename and fileparts:
fname = mfilename('fullpath');
fdir = fileparts(fname);

@Hamza: The idea of this forum is to share problems and their solutions with other. Deleting a question after you find a solution does not support this. To encourage users to help you in the future also, it would be more helpful, if you post your solution instead.
