One of the examples:- % Create a file with temperatures tempstr = '78°F 72°F 64°F 66°F 49°F';
fid = fopen('temperature.dat', 'w+');
fprintf(fid, '%s', tempstr);
% Return to the beginning of the file
frewind(fid);
% Read the numbers in the file, skipping the units
% num_temps is a numeric column vector
degrees = char(176);
num_temps = fscanf(fid, ['%d' degrees 'F']);
fclose(fid);
Try something like that. If there are numbers in between the lines, Try to set a condition which checks before the number and after the number for the type. If it is character before and after then ignore that number. There you go.
