How to read multiple wav files using matlab

Hi, I have a problem in matlab .how to read matrix of wav files (element by element)by using wavread(); . I tried it but it not acceptable . I write this but i have an error. I want to read folder dynamic not static .

[filename, pathname, filterindex] = uigetfile( ...
'*.wav','WAV-files (*.wav)', ...
'Pick a file', ...
'MultiSelect', 'on');
for o = 1:20 % num of fields
[speechIn6,FS6]=wavread(filename(1,o));
speechIn6 = myVAD(speechIn6); 
fMatrix6(1,o) = {mfccf(ncoeff,speechIn6,FS6)}; 
end

Error

??? Error using ==> fileparts at 17
Input must be a row vector of characters.
Error in ==> wavread>open_wav at 193
[pat,nam,ext] = fileparts(file);
Error in ==> wavread at 65
[fid,msg] = open_wav(file);
Error in ==> setTemplates at 74
     [speechIn6,FS6]=wavread(filename(1,o));

Thanks a lot :) Best Regards, Nada Gamal

Answer:

To open Folder and dynmically read files

path='C:\SpeechData\Nada1';

folder = path;

dirListing = dir(folder);

for o = 1:20 % num of fields

for d = 3:length(dirListing)

% loop through the files and open. Note that dir also lists the directories, so you have to check for them.

fileName = fullfile(folder,dirListing(d).name); % use full path because the folder may not be the active path

[speechIn6,FS6]=wavread(fileName);

speechIn6 = myVAD(speechIn6);

fMatrix6(1,o) = {mfccf(ncoeff,speechIn6,FS6)};

[filenames, pathname, filterindex] = uigetfile( '*.wav', 'WAV-files (*.wav)', 'Pick a file', 'MultiSelect', 'on');
filenames = cellstr(filename);   %in case only one selected
for K = 1 : length(filename)
  thisfullname = fullfile(pathname, filenames{K});
  [speechIn6,FS6]=wavread(thisfullname);
  speechIn6 = myVAD(speechIn6);
  fMatrix6(1,o) = {mfccf(ncoeff,speechIn6,FS6)};
end

Thanks Walter for your reply . And I want to ask another question can i pass path of folder only and then the folder opened and take its files and make all operations to all files dynamic not static .

Thanks alot :)

i ma getting "The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment." this error in second line. please help me to solve this

The ... continuations would have confused it.

I'm new to matlab so bare with me.

What is "[speechIn6,FS6]=wavread(thisfullname);"

Matlab doesn't have a command "waveread" and i'm sure what "[speedIn6,FS6]" is

I try the codes from mr. Walter Roberson but its said:

Unrecognized function or variable 'filename'.

Error in Untitled (line 2)

filenames = cellstr(filename); %in case only one selected

[Walter Roberson]

[filenames, pathname, filterindex] = uigetfile( '*.wav', 'WAV-files (*.wav)', 'Pick a file', 'MultiSelect', 'on');
filenames = cellstr(filenames);   %in case only one selected
for K = 1 : length(filenames)
  thisfullname = fullfile(pathname, filenames{K});
  [speechIn6, FS6] = audioread(thisfullname);
  speechIn6 = myVAD(speechIn6);
  fMatrix6{1,K} = mfccf(ncoeff, speechIn6, FS6);
end
