Dear Mathworks community,
I am having a problem using the dlmread function. I want to read data from a GNU zipped file (gravitational data from the GRACE satellite) into MATLAB so I can work with it. This is my approach so far:
MyFolderInfo = dir('C:\Users\my\Desktop\Skole\6. Semester\Bachelor_Projekt\GRACE')
listing = MyFolderInfo(4).name
M = dlmread(listing,' ', [8, 0, 5150, 9])
So I am succesfully loading the data from dir, but when I want to use the dlmread function I get the following error:
*Error using dlmread (line 147)
Mismatch between file and format character vector.
Trouble reading 'Numeric' field from file (row number 1, field number 1) ==> GRCOF2 0 0 0.883194575888E-11
0.000000000000E+00 0.0000E+00 0.0000E+00 20020405.0000 20020501.0000 nnnn \n*
I want to use only the numerical data and exclude the columns "GRCOF2" and "nnnn", but when I try to make the row and column offset, like below, i just get the following error.
M = dlmread(listing,' ', [8, 1, 5150, 8])
Trouble reading 'Numeric' field from file (row number 1, field number 16) ==> nnnn \n
Its almost as it doesn't register my max. column offset correctly. Can anyone help me?
Best Regards Jonathan
PS. I've attached an image of data file that I want to work with in this question, if that helps. It's opened in notepad++.
