posi.txt

Hi,

I want to read txt file and input value in Matlab. I use "dlmread" but it is always error:

"Error using dlmread (line 141) Mismatch between file and format string. Trouble reading number from file (row 1u, field 1u) ==> ITEM: TIMESTEP\n"

This is code:

...

clear

clc

filename = 'posi.txt';

M_initial = dlmread(filename,' ',1,0)

clear filename

...

The 'posi.txt' file was attached.

Anyone can tell what can be done in this case?

For some reason, testing for the end of file (with feof) doesn’t work with this file. A for loop and guessing at the number of ‘sections’ in the file will have to do:

fidi = fopen('posi.txt', 'rt');
for k1 = 1:20
    data{k1} = textscan(fidi,'%f%f%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines',9, 'Delimiter',' ', 'CollectOutput',1);
    fseek(fidi, 1, 0);
end
fclose(fidi);

Which MATLAB version are you using? Only quite recently has dlmread() been able to handle text anywhere in the file.

textscan() can handle sections of it, but otherwise you need fgetl(), check what kind of line you just received, sscanf() to pull apart the line, store the values, go on to the next line.

textscan() is good for the portions where the number of lines that follow in a particular format is fixed (or has been extracted from a previous line.) In some cases where the first field on the line is numeric for all entries in the stretch and the first line that has a different format has text in the first field, then textscan() can also be used to process stretches of unknown length.

I can see from the text headers that you have missing fields in your data; in particular I can see that the atom lines do not have a z coordinate. The text headers that end in "p p p" tend to imply that there should be at least one more value on each of the following two or three lines than are actually present. But to automate this we need to know whether the routine will only ever be used on files that are missing those fields; if not then the missing values detection requires that we read a line at a time for any lines where fields might be missing.

Which program uses these input files?
