Converting .m (script file) to .txt (text file)

[William Sipprell]

I have a bunch of .m files that need to be converted to .txt files. I want to be able to automate this to make the process easier, as there are many files that must be converted.

Is there any function in MATLAB that can help in this automation process?

Thank you
William

The .m files are text files at the outset, so
all you need to do is to copy the files, along
the lines of:

flist = dir('*.m');
for n=1:length(flist)
[fp,fn,fe] = fileparts(flist(n).name);
copyfile(flist(n).name,[fp,pathsep,fn,'.txt']);
end

Thank you for the quick response Rune. That should solve the problem.

I want to convert a signal saved in .m file to .txt file. It is not working.
If you can elaborate the above process then it would be helpful.

what do you mean by a "signal saved in .m file" ?

An .m file is a text file. There is nothing to covert.

It is not clear what you are asking.
