How to open DBase files (.DBF) in Matlab?

 I've googled and searched through Matlab Central, but cannot find any way to open DBF files directly in Matlab. There are some references to DBFREAD function in TMW File Exchange, but it's not available anymore. Is it really a problem?

I do have Database toolbox, but could not find dbf support there.

I don't want to use Excel or other tools for converting files outside of Matlab, since I have a lot of files to process. ODBC also is not good, I need the code to work under Mac and Unix as well.

Please help.

I contacted with Brian Madsen, the author of DBFREAD function, which was deleted from File Exchange, probably because The Mathworks is going to include this function into MATLAB in some future release. Brian kindly gave me permission to publish this function here. All copyright information left intact. I only modified lines 33-38 to allow DBFREAD to read file outside working directory. 
 
function [dbfData, dbfFieldNames] = dbfread(filename, records2read, requestedFieldNames)
%DBFREAD Read the specified records and fields from a DBF file.
%
%   [DATA, NAMES] = DBFREAD(FILE) reads numeric, float, character and date
%   data and field names from a DBF file, FILE.
%
%   [DATA, NAMES] = DBFREAD(FILE, RECORDS2READ) reads only the record
%   numbers specified in RECORDS2READ, a scalar or vector.

Why do I get a "Too many input arguments" error when not passing any?

  I am working on some simple object-oriented code in MATLAB. I am trying to call one of my class methods with no input or output arguments in its definition. Function definition: function roll_dice Function call: obj.roll_dice; When this is executed, MATLAB says:    ??? Error using ==> roll_dice Too many input arguments. Error in ==> DiceSet>Diceset.Diceset at 11 obj.roll_dice; (etc...) Anyone have any ideas what could be causing it? Are there secret automatic arguments I'm unaware that I'm passing?   NOTE:- Matlabsolutions.com  provide latest  MatLab Homework Help, MatLab Assignment Help  ,  Finance Assignment Help  for students, engineers and researchers in Multiple Branches like ECE, EEE, CSE, Mechanical, Civil with 100% output.Matlab Code for B.E, B.Tech,M.E,M.Tech, Ph.D. Scholars with 100% privacy guaranteed.

Constructing piecewise symbolic function in Matlab

  I am trying to generate a piecewise symbolic function in Matlab. The reason it has to be symbolic is I want to be able to integrate/differentiate the function afterwards and/or insert actual values. I have the following function:    x^3/6 -> 0 < x <= 1 (1/6)*(-3*x^3+12*x^2-12x+4) -> 1 < x <= 2 (1/6)*(3*x^3-24*x^2+60x-44) -> 2 < x <= 3 (1/6)*(4-x)^3 -> 3 < x <= 4 0 -> otherwise I am trying to generate a piecewise symbolic function in Matlab.
