How to open multiple fig files at once through code?

33 views (last 30 days)
%I need to open multiple files from a directory. I tried using the following code:
[figures, pathname,]=uigetfile('directory','*.fig','Multiselect','on');
for x = 1:length(figures)
Multi_Figs = figures(x).name;
Op = openfig(Multi_Figs);
end
It gave an error,
Error in Multi_Figs = figures(x).name; : Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.
I tried removing " .name " from it and modified the code as:
[figures, pathname,]=uigetfile('directory','*.fig','Multiselect','on');
for x = 1:length(figures)
Multi_Figs = figures(x);
Op = openfig(Multi_Figs);
end
After running the code it gave another error;
Error in Op = openfig(Multi_Figs); : The value of 'Filename' is invalid. It must satisfy the function: ischar.
I converted the figure names to char by ch=char(figures) and using 'ch' in place of 'figures' in the code. But it also did not work out.
Kindly help me with opening multiple fig files at once.

[figures, pathname,]=uigetfile('directory','*.fig','Multiselect','on');
for x = 1:length(figures)
Multi_Figs = [pathname,filesep,figures{x}];
Op = openfig(Multi_Figs);
end
