Not sure which version of mat file you might have or whether octave keeps up with the latest matlab formats.
Load mat file in octave.
Bottom line is that you can say.
By default the current directory is octave work.
Save dlmwrite csvwrite fwrite.
Force octave to assume the file is in the binary format written by matlab version 4.
Saving with save mat7 binary or save v7 and loading with load mat also works but a struct is created in matlab.
Octave failed to read it both with plain load quad3 mat and also with load mat binary quad3 mat inspection of the file showed matlab 5 0 at the head.
Name of file specified as a character vector or string scalar.
This is the first time i ve had octave fail to be matlab binary compatible.
The save and load commands allow data to be written to and read from disk files in various formats.
If filename has no extension that is no text after a period load looks for a file named filename mat if filename has an extension other than mat the load function treats.
This corresponds to the load documentation in matlab.
A double array is returned.
The file must be in a recognized directory usually your current directory but at least one for which the path has been set.
Saving with save ascii and simply load in matlab however did work.
The default format of files written by the save command can be controlled using the functions save default options and save precision.
This is explained in the octave documentation.
Default this proprietary text format is not and never has been compatible with any of the publicly documented mat binary file formats.
Save the data in octave s text data format.
In case you wind up having to write code to read the mat file ever.
14 1 3 simple file i o.
Default this proprietary text format is not and never has been compatible with any of the publicly documented mat binary file formats.
As an example the following code creates a 3 by 3 matrix and saves it to the file myfile mat.
If you do not specify filename the load function searches for a file named matlab mat.
Force octave to assume the file is in matlab s version 6 or 7 binary format.
Load mymatfile mat right at the octave prompt.
Likewise there are many ways to load files into the workspace to load a saved mat file type.
However i think some sort of workaround is needed for being able to load existing mat files that trigger such issue so octave users can access the rest of the data ideally informing the user about what variables empty function handles are missing and why.
I ve done this before and it was not difficult but was time consuming.
Here s a link that might be a good start.
Save the data in octave s text data format.
This is explained in the octave documentation.
Octave s default so called mat file format is not a binary mat file at all it is in fact a text file format that octave developed for itself.
Force octave to assume the file is in octave s text format.
