About importdata(filename) function in Matlab
显示 更早的评论
I have created two .dat files using a same perl script, but on different machines. But when I use importdata(filename) on one file (..mof-177...) it gives a structure as an output, but when I use it on the other file (...mof-5...) it combines all data in a one-dimensional cell. Can someone please explain what might cause this?
I am attching the files along with this message. It is very frustrating to write a different code for each file as I have 1000s of such file to read.

"I have created two .dat files using a same perl script, but on different machines."
And they have created different files.
"Can someone please explain what might cause this? "
Most likely this non-numeric nonsense here at the end of every line of data:

which clearly does not exist in the other file:

Add nonsense to file, make it harder to parse. So far no surprises here.
