An error when using the load command

Hey all,

I hope you are safe and healthy. I have a little problem with reading a NetCDF from another directory rather than the current folder.

I typed this:

load ('F:\MATLAB Behzad\Datasets and codes\GPCC\precip.mon.total.v2018.nc')

but it gave me this error:

Error using load
Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file F:\MATLAB
Behzad\Datasets and codes\GPCC\precip.mon.total.v2018.nc
"HDF
". 

My NetCDF is successfully open when I change the current folder to the F:\MATLAB Behzad\Datasets and codes\GPCC.

Any help?

Thank you all

You cannot load() a .nc file. You need to use something like ncread()

Thank you. So:

cd 'F:\MATLAB Behzad\Datasets and codes\GPCC'
filename='precip.mon.total.v2018.nc'; %Name of netcdf file

then ncread.

Thanks again.
