Error reading images from file

Hi,

I downloaded an image dataset called DB1_B, and I want to read all images into an array. I tried using dir() directly, but got an error, searched for a solution and found this instead, but I'm still getting errors?

folder = uigetdir('C:\Users\Mia\Documents\Project (SD)\DB1_B');
tiffile = dir(folder, '*.tif'); 
numfiles = length(tiffile);
mydata = cell(1,numfiles);
for k = 1:numfiles
    mydata{k} = imread(tiffile(k).name) 
end



Error using dir
Too many input arguments.

Error in NNexLBP (line 3)
tifffile = dir(folder, '*.tif');

Its 80 images if that makes a difference? I have a test code that successfully extracts one image by using

im = imread('C:\Users\Mia\Documents\Project (SD)\DB1_B\101_1.tif');

so I think it's directed correctly? The test code and the code I'm trying to use now are saved in different folders, but they're both saved under the 'project (SD)' folder if that makes a difference?

tiffile = dir( fullfile(folder, '*.tif')); 

and

    mydata{k} = imread( fullfile(folder, tiffile(k).name) );

Ah thank you so much! That works perfectly, have a lovely day!

The extra backward slash should do it.

folder = uigetdir('C:\Users\Mia\Documents\Project (SD)\DB1_B\');

No, this is not actually correct. No matter what input you pass to uigetdir(), you do not know whether the output will end in a \ or / or not.

My bad.
