Re: How to call a function that is in another file?

[Farzad Torabi]

Hello dear Emil

I am coming back to this question for some updates and maybe resolve one small problem. for me , there is only one small problem in reading that Octave always reads the first cell 1,1 as NaN.

so in my code at the moment, after reading I just write data(1,1)= a , in which a is any number that should actually be read for the cell 1,1 .

added to that, is there any possibility to make this code in a way to read any csv file with any separator without the need from the user to intervene and change the separator type in case of error ?

The first line in the text csv file must be 'sep=;' or 'sep=,'.

This line defines the separator to be considered in the read function...

Attached you may find a csv starting with 'sep=;'.

Of course, using 'search'/'replace all' you may change ';' to ',' or vice versa.

The command is:

abc=load_csv("D:\\E\\Em\\Workspace-Octave\\Interpolari\\00001Alpha\\alphaXYinp.csv",";")

or

abc=load_csv("D:\\E\\Em\\Workspace-Octave\\Interpolari\\00001Alpha\\alphaXYinp.csv",",")

Thank you very much Emil

I did 

test=load_csv('test.csv' ,  "," )

but it didn't work , shall you please help me with the syntax I need to use ?

A computer code line in GNU Octave ends with either ';' semicolumn or nothing.

Semicolumn means that the result is not displayed.

I learnt that csv may be correctly read in Excel if the first line in the TEXT csv file specifies the symbol use to separate the values.

For 'comma' it is 'sep=,', but this is the default separator.

For 'semicolumn' it is 'sep=;', which is used when the decimal point is actually a comma, ','.

I send you my code which loads a csv file in a double type matrix which is returned to the upper level.

I use this original code in a set of upper level codes, please see figure 3 in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1757-899X/591/1/012061/pdf

You may modify it to return a matrix of strings, which may be processed in the upper level.

well I think I have some problems that start with reading from input .csv files , but I have them also when I input them manually instead of reading from csv. first I noted the ; semicolon is causing problem to read a row and put it in a matrix (list ) like test1= [1, 100, 200, 300] 

if I try to change the semicolon to comma then I get the error:

error: load: unable to determine file format of 'test.csv'

but then even when I input the test matrix manually and then ran the function that included this data as input: 

result =  myfunc(input1,input2, test1]

error: 'result' undefined near line 1 column 1

So I don't know whether I am not using the function calling correctly, or it's a formatting problem or what ...

Hi,

Try to trace the execution by printing some messages from the files/functions.

If you place a message in an if (echo > 0) ... you can activate and deactivate messages using 'echo'.

If the line is finished by ; there are no answers regarding the result of that line of the program.

Hi All

I have several files in a folder that each of them is a function and each one should call the other file. 

there is no Main.py constructed , so I need to call the main function from command prompt , but when I type the function name with its inputs, I don't get any output since it seems like first the function mfile should be loaded. How do I do that ?

If you don't get an error message then the function was run.

Perhaps the function does not display any data?
