I tried converting my .csv file to .dat format and tried to load the file into Octave. It throws an error:
unable to find file filename
I also tried to load the file in .csv format using the syntax
x = csvread(filename)
and it throws the error:
'filename' undefined near line 1 column 13.
I also tried loading the file by opening it on the editor and I tried loading it and now it shows me
warning: load: 'filepath' found by searching load path
error: load: unable to determine file format of 'Salary_Data.dat'.
How can I load my data?
>> load Salary_Data.dat
error: load: unable to find file Salary_Data.dat
>> Salary_Data
error: 'Salary_Data' undefined near line 1 column 1
>> Salary_Data
error: 'Salary_Data' undefined near line 1 column 1

Ok, you've stumbled through a whole pile of issues here.
It would help if you didn't give us error messages without the commands that produced them.
The first message means you were telling Octave to open something called filename and it couldn't find anything called filename. Did you define the variable filename? Your second command and the error message suggests you didn't.
Do you know what Octave's working directory is? Is it the same as where the file is located? From the response to your load commands, I'd guess not. The file is located at C:/Users/vaith/Desktop. Octave's working directory is probably somewhere else.
(Try the pwd command and see what it tells you. Use the file browser or the cd command to navigate to the same location as the file. help pwd and help cd commands would also provide useful information.)
The load command, used as a command (load file.txt) can take an input that is or isn't defined as a string. A function format (load('file.txt') or csvread('file.txt')) must be a string input, hence the quotes around file.txt. So all of your csvread input commands thought you were giving it variable names, not filenames.
Last, the fact that load couldn't read your data isn't overly surprising. Octave is trying to guess what kind of file it is and how to load it. I assume you tried help load to see what the different command options are? You can give it different options to help Octave figure it out. If it actually is a csv file though, and is all numbers not text, then csvread might still be your best option if you use it correctly. help csvread would be good information for you.
It looks from your data like you have a header line that is probably confusing the load command. For data that simply formatted, the csvread command can bring in the data. It will replace your header text with zeros.
So, first, navigate to the location of the file:
>> cd C:/Users/vaith/Desktop
then open the file:
>> mydata = csvread('Salary_Data.csv')
mydata =
0.00000 0.00000
1.10000 39343.00000
1.30000 46205.00000
1.50000 37731.00000
2.00000 43525.00000
...
If you plan to reuse the filename, you can assign it to a variable, then open the file:
>> myfile = 'Salary_Data.csv'
myfile = Salary_Data.csv
>> mydata = csvread(myfile)
mydata =
0.00000 0.00000
1.10000 39343.00000
1.30000 46205.00000
1.50000 37731.00000
2.00000 43525.00000
...
Notice how the filename is stored and used as a string with quotation marks, but the variable name is not. Also, csvread converted non-numeric header data to 'zeros'. The help for csvread and dlmread show you how to change it to something other than zero, or to skip a certain number of rows. If you want to preserve the text, you'll have to use some other input function.

I am extracting prosody features from an audio file while using Opensmile using Windows version of Opensmile. It runs successful and an output csv is generated. But when I open csv, it shows some rows that are not readable. I used this command to extract prosody feature:
SMILEXtract -C \opensmile-3.0-win-x64\config\prosody\prosodyShs.conf -I audio_sample_01.wav -O prosody_sample1.csv
And the output of csv looks like this:
[
Even I tried to use the sample wave file given in Example audio folder given in opensmile directory and the output is same (not readable). Can someone help me in identifying where the problem is actually? and how can I fix it?
You need to enable the csvSink component in the configuration file to make it work. The file config\prosody\prosodyShs.conf that you are using does not have this component defined and always writes binary output.
You can verify that it is the standart binary output in this way: omit the -O parameter from your command so it becomesSMILEXtract -C \opensmile-3.0-win-x64\config\prosody\prosodyShs.conf -I audio_sample_01.wav and execute it. You will get a output.htk file which is exactly the same as the prosody_sample1.csv.
How output csv? You can take a look at the example configuration in opensmile-3.0-win-x64\config\demo\demo1_energy.conf where a csvSink component is defined.
You can find more information in the official documentation:
Get started page of the openSMILE documentation
The section on configuration files
Documentation for cCsvSink
This is how I solved the issue. First I added the csvSink component to the list of the component instances. instance[csvSink].type = cCsvSink
Next I added the configuration parameters for this instance.
[csvSink:cCsvSink]
reader.dmLevel = energy
filename = \cm[outputfile(O){output.csv}:file name of the output CSV
file]
delimChar = ;
append = 0
timestamp = 1
number = 1
printHeader = 1
\{../shared/standard_data_output_lldonly.conf.inc}`
Now if you run this file it will throw you errors because reader.dmLevel = energy is dependent on waveframes. So the final changes would be:
[energy:cEnergy]
reader.dmLevel = waveframes
writer.dmLevel = energy
[int:cIntensity]
reader.dmLevel = waveframes
[framer:cFramer]
reader.dmLevel=wave
writer.dmLevel=waveframes

I'm trying to load a csv file that includes strings into Octave. I found that the load function doesn't work on files with strings so I tried csvread. Though when I try to assign the result of a function it results in an error.For example for a file named churn.csv
csvread churn.csv will work without an error but
M = csvread.churn.csv will output an error "churn is not defined near line 1 column 1.
What could be the problem
csvread churn.csv
M = csvread churn.csv
I am trying to use a formatted string to identify the file location when using 'print -dpdf file_name' to write a plot (or figure) to a file.
I've tried:
k=1;
file_name = sprintf("\'/home/user/directory to use/file%3.3i.pdf\'",k);
print -dpdf file_name;
but that only gets me a figure written to ~/file_name.pdf which is not what I want. I've tried several other approaches but I cannot find an approach that causes the the third term (file_name, in this example) to be evaluated. I have not found any other printing function that will allow me to perform a formatted write (the '-dpdf' option) of a plot (or figure) to a file.
I need the single quotes because the path name to the location where I want to write the file contains spaces. (I'm working on a Linux box running Fedora 24 updated daily.)
If I compute the file name using the line above, then cut and paste it into the print statement, everything works exactly as I wish it to. I've tried using
k=1;
file_name = sprintf("\'/home/user/directory to use/file%3.3i.pdf\'",k);
print ("-dpdf", '/home/user/directory to use/file001.pdf');
But simply switching to a different form of print statement doesn't solve the problem,although now I get an error message:
GPL Ghostscript 9.16: **** Could not open the file '/home/user/directory to use/file001.pdf' .
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
warning: broken pipe
if you use foo a b this is the same as foo ("a", "b"). In your case you called print ("-dpdf", "file_name")
k = 1;
file_name = sprintf ("/home/user/directory to use/file%3.3i.pdf", k);
print ("-dpdf", file_name);
Observe:
>> k=1;
>> file_name = sprintf ('/home/tasos/Desktop/a folder with spaces in it/this is file number %3.3i.pdf', k)
file_name = /home/tasos/Desktop/a folder with spaces in it/this is file number 001.pdf
>> plot (1 : 10);
>> print (gcf, file_name, '-dpdf')
Tadaaa!
So yeah, no single quotes needed. The reason single quotes work when you're "typing it by hand" is because you're literally creating the string on the spot with the single quotes.
Having said that, it's generally a good idea when generating absolute paths to use the fullfile command instead. Have a look at it.

Hej,
no matter what I try, I keep getting the error: file not recognised as 'CSV data files' file, reason: null, while loading a cvs file into Weka explorer. Any suggestions what could be wrong?
I have been trying "correct" this type of errors Wrong number of values, Read 1, expected 2 Token[EOL], line 17 and after it stops giving those, the null one appears.
The file in question: file link
Thank you in advance!
I've preprocessed the file with these shell commands.
# optional:
# The file uses "\r" characters (sometimes displayed as ^M) characters
# as line separator. Character "\n" is better.
# make it a unix-compliant csv file
# original file is saved into ~/Downloads/rezultati.csv.bak
perl -pi.bak -E "s/\r/\n/g" ~/Downloads/rezultati.csv
# end optional
# take first 240 lines, except the defective last line .
# I don't know what's wrong with it. maybe it's "No newline at end of file"
# I'll just omit that single line starting with ID 243.
head -240 ~/Downloads/rezultati.csv > ~/Downloads/rezultati-240.csv
resultati-240.csv can be loaded into weka.
I'm beginning with octave. I've created a file called squareThisNumber.m in My Documents with the following code:
function y = squareThisNumber(x)
y = x^2;
I set the directory to look at My Documents with
cd 'C:\Users\XXXX\My Documents'
I type "squareThisNumber(3)" into octave, and all I'm getting is "Error: 'squareThisNumber' undefined near line 3 column 1." What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
When I type ls into octave, I get "error: ls: command exited abnormally with status 127". Did I not install Octave correctly?
This behavior sure does seem like there's a problem with octave's current working directory. Does the command dir or pwd also have the same problem?
But you might be able to ignore all of that by
addpath("C:\Users\XXXX\My Documents");
Did you place the end keyword at the end? Code example below works perfectly for me
