How to call a function to read some files from a specific folder?

Hi everyone,

I have two files containing some data, and I want to define a function that can be called to read the contents. Suppse the folder containing the data is:

cd 'D:\...\multiparts test2'

filename="lineinjection.dpm"

[x0,y0,z0,u0,v0,w0,diameter0,t0,parcelmass,mass,ninparcel,time,flowtime,inj]=sampleread(filename)

filename1="lineinjection2.dpm"

[x,y,z,u,v,w,diameter,t,parcelmass,mass,ninparcel,time,flowtime,inj]=sampleread(filename1)

How should I give the correct file address to the function in the input format from script?

Thank you for any lead!

[KSSV]

thepath = 'D:\...\multiparts test2' ;
filename1 = [thepath,filesep,'lineinjection.dpm'] ; 
filename2 = [thepath,filesep,'lineinjection2.dpm'] ; 
% Now call the function to read the contents of files 
[x1,y1,z1,u1,v1,w1,diameter1,t1,parcelmass1,mass1,ninparcel1,time1,flowtime1,inj1]=sampleread(filename1) ; 
[x2,y2,z2,u2,v2,w2,diameter2,t2,parcelmass2,mass2,ninparcel2,time2,flowtime2,inj2]=sampleread(filename2) ;

It is recommended to use FULLFILE, e.g.:

filename1 = fullfile(thepath,'lineinjection.dpm')
