A) goes something like
nHeaders=11;
fidi=fopen(filenameIn,'r');
fido=fopen(filenameOut,'w');
for i=1:nHeaders
fprintf(fido('%s',fegts(fidi)))
end
data=textscan(fido(fmtInData));
...
fprintf(fido,fmtOut,data.')
fidi=fclose(fidi);
fido=fclose(fido);
B) would just
nHeaders=11;
data=importdata(filenameIn);
values=char(data(nHeaders+1:end));
values=str2double(values);
fido=fopen(filenameOut,'w');
for i=1:nHeaders
fprintf(fido('%s',data{i})
end
fprintf(fido,fmtOut,values.')
fidi=fclose(fidi);
fido=fclose(fido);
You'll have to clean up the details and all, but gives the general sequence of operations. What you do with the embedded remark line in the file is going to be a tussle unless you can just ignore it with the 'CommentSyle' parameter with textscan on input. Otherwise, if you must echo it back out you'll have to parse the file as string data and locate it--the numeric conversion/reading routines will barf on it.
