问题描述

我已经在Matlab Central上进行了搜索和搜索,但是找不到任何直接在Matlab中打开DBF文件的方法.在TMW File Exchange中有一些对DBFREAD函数的引用,但现在不再可用.真的有问题吗?

I've googled and searched through Matlab Central, but cannot find any way to open DBF files directly in Matlab. There are some references to DBFREAD function in TMW File Exchange, but it's not available anymore. Is it really a problem?

我确实有数据库工具箱,但是在那里找不到dbf支持.

I do have Database toolbox, but could not find dbf support there.

我不想使用Excel或其他工具在Matlab之外转换文件,因为我有很多文件要处理. ODBC也不是很好,我也需要代码在Mac和Unix下工作.

I don't want to use Excel or other tools for converting files outside of Matlab, since I have a lot of files to process. ODBC also is not good, I need the code to work under Mac and Unix as well.

请帮助.

推荐答案

我联系了DBFREAD函数的作者Brian Madsen,该函数已从File Exchange中删除,原因可能是MathWorks打算在某些情况下将其包含在MATLAB中将来的版本. Brian允许我在这里发布此功能.所有版权信息均保持不变.我只修改了第33-38行,以允许DBFREAD读取工作目录之外的文件.

I contacted with Brian Madsen, the author of DBFREAD function, which was deleted from File Exchange, probably because The Mathworks is going to include this function into MATLAB in some future release. Brian kindly gave me permission to publish this function here. All copyright information left intact. I only modified lines 33-38 to allow DBFREAD to read file outside working directory.

function [dbfData, dbfFieldNames] = dbfread(filename, records2read, requestedFieldNames)
%DBFREAD Read the specified records and fields from a DBF file.
%
%   [DATA, NAMES] = DBFREAD(FILE) reads numeric, float, character and date
%   data and field names from a DBF file, FILE.
%
%   [DATA, NAMES] = DBFREAD(FILE, RECORDS2READ) reads only the record
%   numbers specified in RECORDS2READ, a scalar or vector.
%
%   [DATA, NAMES] = DBFREAD(FILE, RECORDS2READ, REQUESTEDFIELDNAMES) reads
%   the data from the fields, REQUESTEDFIELDNAMES, for the specified
%   records. REQUESTEDFIELDNAMES must be a cell array. The fields in the
%   output will follow the order given in REQUESTEDFIELDNAMES.
%
%   Examples:
%
%       % Get all records and a list of the field names from a DBF file.
%       [DATA,NAMES] = dbfread('c:\matlab\work\mydbf')
%
%       % Get data from records 3:5 and 10 from a DBF file.
%       DATA = dbfread('c:\matlab\work\mydbf',[3:5,10])
%
%       % Get data from records 1:10 for three of the fields in a DBF file.
%       DATA = dbfread('c:\matlab\work\mydbf',1:10,{'FIELD1' 'FIELD3' 'FIELD5'})
%
%   See also XLSREAD, DLMREAD, DLMWRITE, LOAD, FILEFORMATS, TEXTSCAN.

更新

STR2DOUBLE2CELL子功能有时会无法正常工作(请参见此讨论).

STR2DOUBLE2CELL subfunction sometimes works incorrectly if number of digits in the input parameter is different (see this discussion).

这是我的STR2DOUBLE2CELL版本:

Here is my version of STR2DOUBLE2CELL:

function out = str2double2cell(in)
% Translate IN, an M-by-N array of class char, to an M-by-1 column vector
% OUT, of class double.  IN may be blank- or null-padded. If IN(k,:) does
% not represent a valid scalar value, then OUT(k) has value NaN.
if isempty(in)
    out = {[NaN]};
    return
end

out = cellfun(@str2double,cellstr(in),'UniformOutput',false);
