I run R2012a, 64bit, Windows7.
load(..) seems to read the numerical data ok.
>> load('cssm.poi.txt' )
>> cssm_poi
cssm_poi =
1 10
1 10
where cssm.poi.txt contains
%%Legend:
1,10,,,,,,,,,,,% test
1,10,,,,,,,,,,,% test
There is the alternative syntax
data = load(...);
and, but ...
eval( [ variable_name, '= load(', file_name, ');' ] )
.
AFAIK: importdata(...) cannot handle the on-line comments. The documentation doesn't say it can. That might have been an undocumented feature.
.
You write "require a massive amount of code modifications". The question seems to be how the code can be updated to R2012a with minimal modifications. I know too little about the code to say how.
- The "massive amount of code modifications" does that affect the code that writes or reads the data-files? Or both?
- textscan can read the example data. Are the number of columns known?
In toolboxes and in the File Exchange there are many functions that read text files.
