Dear all Any one could help me reading the txt file 'specimen1.txt' to plot the load vs extension .For instance
Time Extension Load
(sec) (mm) (N)
0,00000 0,00000 -0,06352
0,00200 0,00000 -0,06571
0,00400 0,00000 -0,06751
0,10400 0,00697 -0,00243
0,20400 0,02255 -0,00033
0,30400 0,03494 -0,00515

See Import data file with comma decimal point to get comma2point_overwrite
&nbsp
Addendum
Then run
comma2point_overwrite('specimen1.txt')
(I assume you have a backup) and
fid = fopen('specimen1.txt');
cac = textscan( fid, '%f%f%f', 'Headerlines,2, 'CollectOutput',1 );
fclose(fid);

Did you try importdata() with 2 header lines as an optional input?

You should be able to read ‘specimen1d.txt’ without problems using textscan. It used decimal-point rather than decimal-comma formatting.

When I have this issue, I usually go this way:
fid=fopen('test.txt');
txt=char(fread(fid));
fclose(fid);
headerlines=2;
txt(1:max(find(txt==char(13),headerlines,'first')))=[];
txt=strrep(txt',',','.');
data=str2num(txt);
As only low-level functions are used, I guess this works independently from the Matlab release.

Why make this complicated: without changing the original datafile we can simply change the commas for periods inside MATLAB, and then use textread on the resulting string:
>> str = fileread('specimen1.txt');
>> str = regexprep(str,',','.');
>> M = cell2mat(textscan(str,'%f%f%f'))
M =
0 0 0.0076
0.0020 0 0.0067
0.0040 0 0.0040
0.1040 0.0069 0.0294
0.2040 0.0228 -0.0259
0.3040 0.0347 0.0345
...
75.4040 8.7966 -0.1200
75.5040 8.8082 -0.1276
75.6040 8.8201 -0.1791
75.7040 8.8314 -0.1739
75.8040 8.8436 -0.1943
75.9020 8.8547 -0.1583

Mahmoud's code moved here:
Hello Stefan I tried this but it gave me an emoty matrices
for i=1:8
textFileName = ['specimen' num2str(i) '.txt'];
if exist(textFileName, 'file')
fid = fopen(textFileName, 'rt');
str = fileread(textFileName);
fclose(fid);
str = regexprep(str,',','.');
M = cell2mat(textscan(str,'%f%f%f'))
else
fprintf('File %s does not exist.\n', textFileName);
end
end

@mahmoud el majzoub: When I wrote this code I used your example file "specimen1.txt", which contains no headers. If the files have headers, then this method will not work. If you try it with your own example file, it will work. If you have a few header lines, then this code will get rid of them before the conversion:
>> N = 2; % <- pick how many header lines.
>> X = find(str==10);
>> str = str(X(N):end);
A few tips about your code:
  • Do not use i or j as loop variable names, as these are names of the inbuilt imaginary unit.
  • Use sprintf to create the filenames: sprintf('specimen_%i.txt',k)
  • Or instead of creating the filenames and checking if they exist, use dir instead:
S = dir('specimen_*.txt');
N = {S.name};
for k = 1:numel(N)
filename = N{k};
... your code here
end
