saving results as a table

Hi guys,

After doing my analysis with multiple files, using this code:

myDir = uigetdir; %gets directory
myFiles = dir(fullfile(myDir,'*.txt')); %gets all txt files in struct
for k = 1:length(myFiles)
baseFileName = myFiles(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(myDir, baseFileName);
fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
num = importdata(fullFileName);   %or readtable
end

I managed to get the desired results in no time. But, there is a problem with the output, which is not structured, something like this:

Now reading C:\...\file1.txt

result1 =

      0.5041

result2 =

     -0.0212

Now reading C:\...\file3.txt

result1 =

      0.767

result2 =

     0.323

Is there a more efficient way to visualize or perhaps store the results in a single file sorted by the file name and results? There are about 320 results, which I would have to manually rearrange if I don't solve this in Matlab.

Thanks

I think the code becomes like this.

N = length(myFiles);
baseFileName = cell(N,1);
result1 = zeros(N,1);
result2 = zeros(N,1);

for k = 1:N
  baseFileName{k} = myFiles(k).name;
  result1(k) = ****; % <- put your process which returns result1
  result2(k) = ****; % <- put your process which returns result2
end

% Summarize in one table
T = table(baseFileName,result1,result2);

% Sort by file name
T = sortrows(T,'baseFileName');
