hello
I copied / pasted your data in a txt file
try this :
%% read one file
clc
clearvars
filename = 'mydata.txt';
data = myreadfunction(filename)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function data = myreadfunction(filename)
a = readlines(filename);
[m,~] = size(a);
data = [];
% find / extract the different sets of data - separated by text "> -660 contour -Z-660"
start_indexes = find(contains(a,'>'))+1;
stop_indexes = [start_indexes(2:end)-2; m];
for ci = 1:length(start_indexes)
tmp = str2num(char(a(start_indexes(ci):stop_indexes(ci)))); % one segment of data
data = [data; tmp];
end
end
it gives :
data =
288.9812 -7.0500 -660.0000
288.9884 -7.1000 -660.0000
