I have a data file where one tab contains the picture that was presented on the screen another tab has the timestamp. Below is a really short version of what it looks like.
Dog 1ms
Dog 2ms
Dog 3ms
Cat 4ms
Cat 5ms
Cat 6ms
Dog 7ms
Dog 8ms
Dog 9ms
Cat 10ms
Cat 11ms
Cat 12ms
I need to get the rows with the first instance in the grouping (?) of that picture with the timestamp. Below is what I want to have:
Dog 1ms
Cat 4ms
Dog 7ms
Cat 10ms
I'm not sure how to go about doing this; any help would be appreciated!

fid = fopen('test.txt');
data = textscan(fid,'%s %s');
data = [data{1} data{2}];
out = data(1,:);
for i=2:numel(data(:,1))
if ~strcmpi(data{i-1,1},data{i,1})
out = [out;data(i,:)];
end
end

hmm thanks for replying, I'm getting an error that the index exceeds matrix dimensions. I also kind of oversimplified it when I posted the questions, there are actually four columns that I have and would need be displayed but I thought if I figured out how to do it with two I could figure out how to do it with 4, could that be the issue?

Did you run the test.m with test.txt? I just the script and it's working fine. I doubt it's an issue with more than 1 column, since the code limits the data it pulls to the first two.
