Load Text Files Matlab Full Detail How

What Ive got so far is: Spill importdata( Spill.txt ); T Spill(:,1); C Spill(:,2); but I get an error Index exceeds Matrix Dimensions.

I cant change to.data file either as I have to extract the columns of data directly out of the.txt file.

Much appreciated in advance.

Text anywhere in a file is not supported in R2014b or earlier, and possibly not in R2015a either (we have not gone back to figure out exactly when the change was made.).

Load Text Files Matlab Full Detail How

Following link describe in full detail how to use this function to import data from a text file.

Other MathWorks country sites are not optimized for visits from your location.

I need run 100 old files that are in.txt format.

I would like to be able to load the entire file into a variable and then process it with the current code.

The file could be 8,000 rows and 6 columns with some empty cells.

Do you want to batch convert txt files to xls so you can run the existing GUI code on them If you read them as text into MATLAB variables, how would you process them using the GUI code -- wouldnt the GUI code include loading the data from xls files Can you explain this a bit more please Thx.

I would like to open my GUI and load a single text file(.txt) at a time.

I would like all the data from the file to be stored in a single variable.

Basically, my GUI.

Currently processes.xls files - I need to process.txt files.

But it seems like youd prefer to modify your gui so that you can select either xls or txt and have it work either way.

I incorporated some of the advice I got and came up with the following code.

I have tried textread and textscan but havent been successful.

I think part of the problem could be that some rows have two columns and some rows have six columns.

It contains the string and number contained in te first line but does not contain any additional information.

You could try setting the delimiter to a character that is not in your files, for example, A importdata(filename,;).

If I use a delimiter that is not in my file I get a single column but all of the rows.

I would then have to convert the single column to multiple columns.

This is tough (for me) because there are different sig figs in diffirent rows and it changes from file to file.

Ill give it a shot.

There are empty rows between some of the twosix column changes.

Sorry about the delayed response, I had family health issues that took priority.

I was able to display all the lines of my text file using the code from the Help file.

However, I had two problems.

First, I had trouble storing the information to a variable.

Second, the entire row of information was squished into one cell (column).
