fread: how to read n bytes from bin files

44 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
Hi! I have a binary file. It consists of records: 8 byte long, 4 byte float, 4 byte float, 4 byte float. I want to read the file into array Nx4. N - records number. How can I do it? I tried fread but without result.

Is it correct?
fid = fopen('acc-angle.bin', 'rb'); % открытие файла на чтение
if fid == -1 % проверка корректности открытия
error('File is not opened');
end
time=[];
ax=[];
ay=[];
az=[];
records_num=0;
while ~feof(fid)
time = [time; fread(fid,1,'int64')];
ax= [ax; fread(fid,1,'float32')];
ay= [ay; fread(fid,1,'float32')];
az= [az; fread(fid,1,'float32')];
records_num=records_num+1;
end
fclose(fid);

Is it correct? The easiest way for you to find out is to try.
fid = fopen('acc-angle.bin', 'rb')
There's no 'b' option for fopen permissions. 'r' is all that is needed for binary.
Otherwise, your code looks ok to me as long as your file has little endian encoding. A faster option would be to read all records at once using the skip parameter of fread, something like:
fid = fopen('acc-angle.bin', 'r');
time = fread(fid, Inf, 'int64', 12);
fseek(fid, 'bof', 8);
ax = fread(fid, Inf, 'single', 16);
fseek(fid, 'bof', 12);
ay = fread(fid, Inf, 'single', 16);
fseek(fid, 'bof', 16);
az = fread(fid, Inf, 'single', 16);
fclose(fid);

If it's the same for the whole file, in the call to fopen:
fid = fopen('acc-angle.bin', 'r', 'b'); %b for big endian
If it varies per field, in the call to fread:
time = fread(fid, Inf, 'int64', 12, 'b');

At the time you do the fopen() you can specify a byte order that is to apply by default to future fread().
Or, for each fread() you can specify the byte order.
Or, you can swapbytes() after doing the reading.

memmapfile allows you to declare patterns of fields and so is suitable for reading in repeated structures.
