Reading in data from text file in a certain format

A similar problem presented itself in Reorganization of experimental data and that solution could be adapted to your problem. It uses textscan because I have used it successfully with similar problems.

So long as the number of columns does not change between the data segments you want to read, adapting it should be straightforward. The number of rows is irrelevant, and the approach adapts to them.

Hello, I attempted textscan but it still only returns the first set of date and ignored the rest, here is the code I tried:

fidi = fopen('file.txt','rt');
C = textscan(fidi, '%f%f%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines',2,'EmptyValue',0);
M = cell2mat(C);
fclose(fidi);

In order to read a segmented file, the textscan call needs to be in a loop as in the example code. Also, checking for the empty matrix is essential in order to avoid an infinite loop if the file does not have a valid end-of-file indicator, so all you should need to do is to change the format descriptor and the 'HeaderLines' value for it to work with your file.
