Hi,
The data output format of the program I am using is giving me some trouble when I try to import the data into MATLAB. I need to search the file for a specific word before MATLAB starts recording the data, and I can't see how to make fscan, textscan, or textread do this.
For example, below I have included two sections of a data output file (each file contains at least 100 sections, some contain almost 1000 sections). I wish to ignore everything except the "7760" located near the end of each section (on the lines that end with "Target"). My problem is that the text that surrounds the "7760" has a varrying length and size throught the file, so I can't tell MATLAB to directly skip it. Is there a way to search the file for "BACKSTOP" and then record the "7760" and then start looking for "BACKSTOP" again?
Thanks for your help!

Look for a specific keyword(s), not exactly sure about your example, perhaps something like this.
Keyword = 'Object Rays Flux';
while 1
line_str = fgetl(fid); % Get the next line
if line_str == -1 % -1 if fgetl fails or is at eof
error([Keyword 'not found'])
elseif strcmp(line_str, Keyword) % Keyword found, break the loop.
break;
end
end
%Next line, start collecting data here
