Hi all,
I have about 50 text files. Each text file has 17 columns and several rows of data(attached a sample file).
Now I have to extract data from one file, plot and save a figure from the data, and close the file. I have to repeat this for all the text files. I have tried writing the following code to first open file, extract data and close file,
tfiles = dir('*.txt');
ntfiles = length(tfiles);
for i = 1 : ntfiles
fid = fopen(tfiles(i).name);
D = textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f');
fclose(fid);
end
But my code displays only blank values. So how to extract all the lines?
Also I would like to know how to proceed with these issues,
1. I know how to remove the first 8 header lines. But the header seems to be repeated throughout the text. So is there any way I could look for a particular string and delete the entire row from that?
2. Also I need to delete rows which does not contain values in all the 17 columns or contains value in more than 17 columns. How can I check this condition?
Any help would be very useful.
