Syntax

tf = hasNextBlock(bs)

Description

example

tf = hasNextBlock(bs) returns logical 1 (true) if another block is available to process in the BlockedFileSet object specified by bs. Otherwise, it returns logical 0 (false).

Examples

Open Live Script

Check if a blocked file-set has another block available to process and read the data iteratively.

Create a blocked file-set bs for a collection of files.

folder = {'accidents.mat','airlineResults.mat','census.mat','earth.mat'}
folder = 1x4 cell
  Columns 1 through 3

    {'accidents.mat'}    {'airlineResults...'}    {'census.mat'}

  Column 4

    {'earth.mat'}


bs = matlab.io.datastore.BlockedFileSet(folder)
bs = 
  BlockedFileSet with properties:

                   NumBlocks: 4
               NumBlocksRead: 0
                   BlockSize: 'file'
                   BlockInfo: Show BlockInfo for all 4 blocks
    AlternateFileSystemRoots: {}

Use the hasNextBlock and nextblock functions to read block information one block at a time while blocks remain in the set.

while hasNextBlock(bs)
   file = nextblock(bs)
end
