cdflib.deleteVarRecords

Delete range of records from variable

Syntax

cdflib.deleteVarRecords(cdfId,varNum,startRec,endRec)

Description

cdflib.deleteVarRecords(cdfId,varNum,startRec,endRec) deletes a range of records from a variable in a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

Input Arguments

cdfId

Identifier of a CDF file, returned by a call to cdflib.create or cdflib.open.

varNum

Numeric value that identifies the variable. Variable numbers are zero-based.

startRec

Numeric value that specifies the record at which to start deleting records. Record numbers are zero-based.

endRec

Numeric value that specifies the record at which to stop deleting records. Record numbers are zero-based.

Examples

Make a writable copy of the example CDF, get the number of a variable in the CDF, and delete specific records in the variable. To run this example, you must be in a writable folder.

srcFile = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','matlab','demos','example.cdf');
copyfile(srcFile,'myfile.cdf');
fileattrib('myfile.cdf','+w');
cdfid = cdflib.open('myfile.cdf');
varnum = cdflib.getVarNum(cdfid,'Temperature');
cdflib.deleteVarRecords(cdfid,varnum,1,2);
cdflib.close(cdfid);
