Array changes size every time I run the code
Show older comments
Hi,
Im using matlab online and when I am running the code, the size/dimension of the array changes so that I get another error later in the code because the array need to be of a certain size.
The txt file is a array/list of float values with the dimensions: 99600x1. I have check the files in matlab by just opening them there and the dimension is correct there.
The problem is when I am running the code under, that the size of the arrays kx,ky,kz and ecg changes. And its not the same change every time. Sometimes some of the sizes are correct.
Anyone knows what is wrong?
Here is a image of an example. The sizes varies.

This is my code (I have also tried using readtable with a csv file instead):
kx = load("accx_mat_ex.txt");
ky = load("accy_mat_ex.txt");
kz = load("accz_mat_ex.txt");
ecg = load("ecg_mat_ex.txt");
ecgN = ecg/max(ecg);
k = kx+ky+kz;
kN = k/max(k);
whos

Attach the 4 files that demonstrate this behavior.

I can't seem to replicate the problem. All the files consistently read with 99600 rows. I'm using R2019b.
Are these files being written immediately prior to being read, perhaps? It's not apparent why this would be happening. Maybe it's some sort of issue with the online version.

Hello!
I tried reproducing the issue both on R2021a offline as well as online version of MATLAB with the attached files and code sample, but couldn't reproduce the issue on both. Could you share some more details on the online Matlab version and check if uploaded data files in MATLAB online are the latest ones ?

Hi!
Just to be sure, Can you delete the uploaded files in Matlab Online, re-upload them and try once more ? And please attach the screenshot of workspace editor after executing the above code after re-uploading.
