I have a problem to get this .tsv file (below) in. The character chosen by the Economic Institute as the empty value was the signal minus (-). When I use the function textscan and define the Treatasempty with '-' I wrongly damage the items with negative values.

my function request is:

a=textscan(fid,'%s%s%s%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n','delimiter',',','headerlines',4,'ReturnOnError',1,'treatAsEmpty',{'-'});%

Can anybody help me?

Please attach a typical file to the question.

EDIT: well, disregard this comment if my solution below works. If it doesn't please do attach a file or send it to me by email if it's too confidential to go fully public.

Here is a proposal that I can refine when/if you attach a file to your question:

 content = fileread( 'myFile.tsv' ) ;
 content = regexprep( content, '-(,|$)', ',' ) ;
 data    = textscan( content, '%s%s%s%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n', ...
                     'Delimiter', ',', 'HeaderLines', 4, 'ReturnOnError', 1 ) ;

The idea is to eliminate minus signs which are before a comma or at the end of the file, before using TEXTSCAN.

Dear Cedric, tks so much for your answer. Actually, it has been my first post (question) here at the www.mathworks.com. I tried your sugestion, but the function has not removed the minus from the end of each line. Maybe the signal for the end of line is not that one!? Tks a lot.

Dear Ricardo, please perform the following update: change the call to REGEXPREP for..

content = regexprep( buffer, '-(?=[,\r\n]|$)', ',' ) ;

As I didn't have your file I tried on a one line string, and, as you pointed out, I forgot to implement the pattern for the end of line. Let me know if it is too slow; there are other patterns which could apply and it's difficult to know in advance which are faster. If it doesn't work still, feel free to send me the file or a chunk of it so I can perform tests.
