Grabbing info from an .ndk file and making a .kml file

[jadeco]

So I have to make a .kml file, but I'm grabbing some info (latitude, longitude) from an .ndk file. I'm not quite sure how to do this. Right now I have this (sorry it sucks, I'm a total noob)

inputFilename = 'M:\week2\may11.ndk';
inputFile = fopen(inputFilename);

while (feof(inputFile) == 0)
% Read input file in blocks of 5
for i = 1:numLinesInBlock
% Read line from input file
currentLine = fgetl(inputFile);

% If we have the first line, then process it
if (i == 1)
% Extract the information we need
lat = strtrim( currentLine(28:33) );
lon = strtrim( currentLine(35:41) );

elseif (i == 2)
CMT_ID = strtrim( currentLine(1:16) );

end
end
end

filename = 'M:\week2\week2.kml';
kmlwrite(filename, lat, lon, 'Name,' CMT_ID);

And it's wrong in so many ways

. Can someone help me?There's a few things that need to be corrected in this code. Firstly, you need to define the variable numLinesInBlock, as that is used in the for loop. Secondly, you should not use the 'Name,' string in the kmlwrite function, as that is not a valid parameter. You should instead use a string such as 'Name', or some other descriptive name. Also, when writing to the KML file, you will need to format the input correctly. The KML format requires that you specify the latitude and longitude in separate variables, so you will need to create two variables (latitude and longitude) and populate them with the corresponding values from your input file. Finally, you should also use the fclose command at the end of your code to close the file. The following code should work:inputFilename = 'M:\week2\may11.ndk';numLinesInBlock = 5; %Define the number of lines in the blockinputFile = fopen(inputFilename);while (feof(inputFile) == 0) % Read input file in blocks of 5 for i = 1:numLinesInBlock % Read line from input file currentLine = fgetl(inputFile); % If we have the first line, then process it if (i == 1) % Extract the information we need lat = strtrim( currentLine(28:33) ); lon = strtrim( currentLine(35:41) ); elseif (i == 2) CMT_ID = strtrim( currentLine(1:16) ); end endend% Create variables for the KML write commandlatitude = lat;longitude = lon;name = CMT_ID;filename = 'M:\week2\week2.kml';kmlwrite(filename, latitude, longitude, 'Name', name);% Close the input file
