In Matlab : Sorting by indexes of another sorting

Imagine, we have the following two array of numbers
A=[ 2 4 6 7 8 8];
 B=[ 5 8 2 5 0 5];
Problem:
---------
we want to sort A and then arrange B according to the index of A.

Solution:
----------

>> [sortedA,indexA]=sort(A)

sortedA =

     2     4     6     7     8     8

indexA =

     1     2     3     4     5     6



>> B(indexA)

ans =

     5     8     2     5     0     5

How to append in a excel file using Matlab?

Imagine that I have the following excel file called "algoperformace.xls"

algoName	mode	95percentile	max	mean
Algorithm1	13.15153679	20.03323188	39.52043729	15.65858

Now, I would like to add a new line as the following into this excel file using matlab

Neighbor

2.721678458

5.536962451

26.63633753

3.858783

How to do that?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
%% Loading the excel into matlab

[~, ~, alldata] = xlsread('algperformace.xls');
% We will add new entry line into 'alldata' variable and then will write the excel file
% The script will compute the value for algoname, mode, color_diff_95_percentile, max, mean
% adding those values into the cell of 'alldata'
alldata(size(alldata,1),:)={algoname, mode, color_diff_95_percentile, max, mean};
%writing the complete new 'alldata' into the same excel file
xlswrite('algperformace.xls', alldata);

How may I make the user to browse and select file in Matlab

Very often, Matlab programs need to specify input files or images. Instead of giving the absolute path to that file we may make the user to browse and locate the file.

uigetfile is the function that can do that job. Here is an example.

disp('Select the Reference view');
[filename_ref,pathname_ref] = uigetfile('*.*','Select the Reference view');
if isequal(filename_ref,0)
    disp('User selected Cancel')
else
    disp(['Reference view: ', fullfile(pathname_ref, filename_ref)])
end
