object. When you use the get function to query a VideoReader object, the output
structure array now has a CurrentTime field and no longer has a Type field or a
NumberOfFrames field. You cannot query the NumberOfFrames property if you
have invoked the readFrame or hasFrame methods, or if you have explicitly set the
CurrentTime property.
If VideoReader cannot determine the duration of the video file, then the Duration
property is empty ([]). Previously the Duration property was set to zero.
tcpclient function for reading and writing data from network
connected devices and servers using socket-based connections
TCP, or Transmission Control Protocol, is a highly used networking protocol. The
MATLAB TCP/IP client support uses raw socket communication and lets you connect to
remote hosts in MATLAB for reading and writing data. For example, you could use TCP/
IP to acquire data from a remote weather station, and then plot the data.
You can create a TCP/IP connection to a server or hardware and perform read/write
operations. Use the tcpclient function to create the connection, and the write and read
functions for synchronously reading and writing data.
webread function for importing online data including JSON, CSV, and
image data
The webread function reads content from RESTful Web services. You can use webread to
import image, text, and JSON data from Web services into MATLAB. You also can use
websave to write data imported from a Web service to file.
Reading non-ASCII encoded files with readtable function
The readtable function can read text files with non-ASCII character encoding schemes.
Use the optional 'FileEncoding' name-value pair argument to specify the encoding.
Writing quoted strings with writetable function
The writetable function can write quoted strings to text files. Use the optional
'QuoteStrings' name-value pair argument to enclose MATLAB strings in double
quotation marks when writing to a file.
