You can do this..
Data = textread('abc.txt', '%s', 'delimiter', '');
Make sure that the abc.txt file is present in current directory.
It will create variable 'Data' which store all data from your text file..
Now Do this :
Column1 = {};
Column2 = {};
Column3 = {};
for count = 1: size(Data,1)
RowData = Data{count};
Column1{count,1} = RowData(4:7);
Column2{count,1} = RowData(9:12);
Column3{count,1} = RowData(14:17);
end
at the end, you will get three columns with required data and the rowsize will be the same.
So now if you want to read specific data, for example, all three column data but at row 5, then you can apply such logic.
RequiredData1 = Column1{5};
RequiredData2 = Column2{5};
RequiredData3 = Column3{5};
Let me know if you face any issue..
