can someone help me with this

Error using load Unable to read file 'repressilator_oscillations.dat'. No such file or directory

so this 'repressilator_oscillations.dat' should be text file with the corresponding matlab program or the corresponding oscillations figure. i am new at this, so sorry if my questions seems to be absurd.

It shows that 'repressilator_oscillations.dat' is not present in the MATLAB path. Are you sure, it is present in MATLAB path?

actually i was trying to run a code i got from net. and got this error. What steps I need to do to create .dat file in MATLAB?

[Ameer Hamza]

A .dat file contain some data. It will not be helpful if you randomly create some data file. You need to ask the author of the code to provide this data file.

@Devi,

Can you please stop spamming the forum with the same question. This is the 3rd question you've asked on the same subject.

Original question, with the full code is here.

Your code is trying to read repressilator_oscillations.dat in whatever your current directory is, but there is no file by that name there. Either you used the wrong name or else it is in a different directory.

You might have done something like

dinfo = dir('data_files/*.dat');
filename = dinfo(1).name;
load(filename);

If you did something like that, it would not work, because the file is not in the current directory: it is in the directory data_files . More correct for this kind of code would be

datadir = 'data_files';
dinfo = dir( fullfile(datadir, '*.dat') );
filename = fullfile( datadir, dinfo(1).name) );
load(filename);

@DEVI MURALI: what is a .dat file? A list on Wikipedia gave me twelve possible applications that use .dat files, while another website showed me eleven different file formats. If you want help with this then please tell us

• the exact file format specification, or the application that creates it.
• a specific question about MATLAB, something that cannot be explained by reading the MATLAB documentation:
