Good Afternoon, I am trying to import data from a text file in order to plot, and need help writing a scipt.
the text file has text as well as numerical data within it so the load function wont work.
I don't fully understand how the textscan function works, my text data has the first 4 rows with just text, and then the columnheaders in each column, (row 5). Every row past this is just space separated numerical data.
How would I write the command out as to import the data into a usable format to plot with? The data is seprated by spaces (no commas)

fid = fopen('YourFile.txt','rt');
datacell = textscan(fid, '%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines',5);
fclose(fid);
After that, datacell{1} is a vector containing the first column, datacell{2} is a vector containing the second column, datacell{3} is a vector containing the third column.

Is there a way to just have it display the data as an mxn matrix with the data displayed as it was in the text file? where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns?

fid = fopen('YourFile.txt','rt');
datacell = textscan(fid, '%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 5, 'CollectOutput');
fclose(fid);
After that, datacell{1} would be the m x 3 matrix.

I followed this and did indeed get my 3 columns (datacell{1,1} to datacell {1,3} etc) but the data is jumbled and random.
this is what I have so far:
clear all
close all
cd('C:\Documents and Settings\dgraham\Desktop\78 TEXT FORMAT')
fid = fopen('MT_00051-001.txt','rt');
datacell = textscan(fid, '%f%f%f','delimiter',' ','HeaderLines',5);
fclose(fid);

This is an example of one of the text files

figured out why my results were jumbled. If I have more columns than I specify in the format, it takes additonal data and puts it in the 3 columns it spits out. Thanks for the help.
