This is one of the more difficult files I have managed to import!
See if this does what you want:
fidi = fopen('water.txt');
for k = 1:3
hdr{k,:} = fgets(fidi); % Read & Store Header Lines
end
k1 = 1;
while ~feof(fidi)
sechdr(k1,:) = textscan(fidi, '%f%f',1);
if isempty(sechdr)
break
else
for k2 = 1:8
secline(k2,:) = textscan(fidi, '%f%f%f%f%f',1);
end
secdata{k1} = cell2mat(secline);
k1 = k1+1;
end
end
fclose(fidi);
with:
hdr_1 = sechdr(1,:) % Display Data (Delete)
data_1 = secdata{1}
hdr_LastFull = sechdr(k1-2,:) % Display Data (Delete)
data_LastFull = secdata{k1-2}
producing:
hdr_1 =
1×2 cell array
{[5000]} {[8]}
data_1 =

The ‘hdr’ cell array are the first 3 header lines in the file. The ‘sechdr’ cell array are the first row of each section, and ’secdata’ are the matrix following it.
