This package reads MAT-File Format version 4 (MATLAB) binary data files. MAT-files written from big-endian or little-endian computers having IEEE format numbers are currently supported. Support for files written from VAX or Cray machines could also be added.
The numeric and text matrix types handled; support for sparse matrices awaits a sample file.
filename should be a string naming an existing file containing a
MATLAB Version 4 MAT-File. The matfile:read
procedure reads matrices from the
file and returns a list of the results; a list of the name string and
array for each matrix.
filename should be a string naming an existing file containing a
MATLAB Version 4 MAT-File. The matfile:load
procedure reads matrices from the
file and defines the string-ci->symbol
for each matrix to its
corresponding array. matfile:load
returns a list of the symbols defined.
