Importing and Exporting MATLAB Binary Data

Certain MATLAB binary data types are supported in HyperMath. These include:

•	Numeric scalar, vectors and matrix. A MATLAB scalar is converted to HyperMath vector of one element and a HyperMath scalar is converted to a MATLAB vector of single element.

•

String.

•	Structures (including array of structures) containing any of the above and other structures. MATLAB structures are converted to HyperMath tables and vice versa.

Imports a MATLAB binary file (version 5 or lower) and creates the corresponding variables in HyperMath. Unsupported data types are ignored.

Option	Description
filename	A string containing the Matlab data filename with full path. Use forward slash (/) or (\\) for folder separators.
R	A Boolean indicating the status of the operation. A true is returned on success.

Exports a set of HyperMath variables of any of the above supported types to its corresponding MATLAB binary format in the specified file. Any existing file is overwritten.

Option	Description
filename	A string containing the Matlab data filename with full path. Use forward slash (/) or (\\) for folder separators.
var1,…, varN	A set of strings containing the names of the HyperMath variables to be exported.
R	A Boolean indicating the status of the operation. A true is returned on success.

This example shows how to export a two-element array of HyperMath structures, each containing a string and a vector, to the Matlab binary format.

DataArray = {} // This will be exported

// Size the array & insert contents

DataArray[1]={}

DataArray[2]={}

DataArray[1].Name = "Vector 1"

DataArray[1].Vector = [1:10]

DataArray[2].Name = "Vector 2"

DataArray[2].Vector = [1:10]

ExportMatFile("c:/test.mat", "DataArray");
