Readtable from a text file with multiple delimiter

12 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I have a text file with column delimited by tab , but the string containing the variable name has as a delimiter simple multiple space.
Is there a way to specify that the delimiter of the variable name row is different from the rest of the file ?

You can try using readcell in the following way. I'm not sure how your data looks like. If this does not help in your data, you can try importing the data interactively using the Import Tool.
table = readcell('rows.txt', 'Delimiter', ' ')
% 2×5 cell array
%
% {'peter'} {'pan'} {[10]} {[ 2]} {[30]}
% {'john' } {'doe'} {[30]} {[50]} {[60]}
col_1 = table(:, 1);
col_2 = table(:, 2);
name = strcat(col_1, {' '}, col_2)
% name =
%
% 2×1 cell array
%
% {'peter pan'}
% {'john doe' }

You can get my readfile function from the FEX. If you are using R2017a or later, you can also get it through the AddOn-manager. That will read your file to a cell array (1 cell per line), after which you can loop through the lines and use something like contains.
