Hi,
I am using the following code to merge data from several text files in the directory into a single file
files=dir('*.txt');
fileout='merged.txt';
fout=fopen(fileout,'w');
for cntfiles=1:length(files)
fin=fopen(files(cntfiles).name);
while ~feof(fin)
fprintf(fout,'%s %d\n',fgetl(fin),cntfiles);
end
fclose(fin);
end
fclose(fout);
How do i megre text files according to the time it was created. For instance i have 4 files in a directory and in the merged texted file the first data should be from the 1st file created, the second is the second file created and so on....

Hi Shreenath,
What you want is to sort the files (variable) on the basis of Time
Here is the code to do that
files = dir('*.txt')
files = struct2cell(files)
files = files' % to transpose the cell created
[S , I] = sort(files(:,3)); % make sure if '3' is your Time Field
files = files(I,:) % sorted variable files
Enjoy your day!
Thanks

Try This then
files = dir('*.txt')
files = struct2table(files)
[S , I] = sort(files.datenum);
files = files(I,:)
This is based on Datenum that is a timestamp in Numeric Form.
