| Hallo,
I want to read a tab-delimited txt-file. At the moment I
realisied it with textread. It works. Can any one show me
how it would work with textscan? I cannot realize it with
the Matlab-HELP. The original txt-file comes from exel and
consist of 3 rows and 5 columns.
The aim is to have the input in one variable from where I
than extract every information I need.
My solution with txtread:
[patient1, patient2, patient3, patient4, patient5] = ...
textread(source,'%s%s%s%s%s',3, 'delimiter', '\t');
In this case the bad thing is that I need to specifiy the
wright number of variables in the first breaket and
afterwards I have 5 for-loops to handle the informations on
into one variable - overviewTable=cell
(factorsPerPatient,numberOfPatients) - where the column i
stand for the patient i.
The inputfile looks like this:
1 1 2 1 2
23 4 5 23 5
6 7 8 9 10
A new line seems to be realized with /n.
Has anyone an idea?

| Sorry,
I forgot to say that factorsPerPatient=3 and
numberOfPatients=5
That means for the command:
overviewTable=cell(3,5);

Hi Corinna,
in this case, things get somewhat easier: just use load to read your data:
patientData = load(source, '-ascii');

just forgot to ask: if the file contains numbers, why do you read strings?
my solution from above works only for numbers ...

My program should be integrate in a database where I will
get the input file from later. at the moment I must work
with handmade files and so I do not know if they are
strings or numbers.

Another friend gave me another solution. The solution is:
xyz = repmat('%s', 1, 5) ;
fid = fopen(source);
inputData = textscan(fid, xyz);
fclose(fid);
it works!
Thanks for you ideas,
Corinna
