Package: matlab.io.hdf4.sd
Index value of named data set
idx = nameToIndex(sdID,sdsname)
idx = nameToIndex(sdID,sdsname) returns
the index of the data set with the name specified by sdsname.
If there is more than one data set with the same name, the routine
returns the index of the first one.
This function corresponds to the SDnametoindex function
in the HDF C API.
import matlab.io.hdf4.* sdID = sd.start('sd.hdf','read'); idx = sd.nameToIndex(sdID,'temperature'); sd.close(sdID);
