How do I read a specific string and numerical value from a .txt file and use each one for calculation?

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
So I have .txt file that has the following information:
NameA 1999 50
NameB 2005 75
NameC 1987 86
...
The name, the year, and the number are separated by a tab I am supposed to write a script that would read the above information into MatLAB, use the number in the 3rd column for some calculation, and then display the name, year, and the calculated value in 3 columns onto the command window.
How do I even target the numbers in the 3rd columns?

im=importdata('file.txt')
num=im.data
c2=num(:,1) % second column
c3=num(:,2) % third column
texte=im.textdata % first column

I'm at the part where I have to print some information with the following format:
fprintf('company %s founded in %d has an income of %f, NameA, Year, Income)
I used the sscanf to break down the 2nd and 3rd column so that I could target each individual year and each individual income.
However, for the 1st column, I couldn't use sscanf to break it downn into single elements since it is composed of String.
How do I do that?

I'm not sure of the problem. It's a string and you want a string and you put %s in the sscanf() statement for it, so what's going wrong? Show you sscanf() statement, because it sounds fine to me.
