MATLAB: Correct syntax for textscan() function

textscan

Hello there,

Would anybody know the correct syntax to import a column of time values from a text file using the textscan() function. The format of the time values is like this:

12:57:00 
15:19:00 
08:07:00 
10:36:00

Many thanks

Hi,

try %s as format string

out = textscan(fid,'%s')

(fid is the filepointer created by fopen)

Assuming the same file is being referenced for both:

fid = fopen(filename);
xyzcell = textscan(fid, '%f %f %f %f %f %f', 'HeaderLines', 3);
fclose(fid);
x = xyzcell{1};
y = xyzcell{2};
z = xyzcell{3};
X(:,k) = xyzcell{4};
Y(:,k) = xyzcell{5};
Z(:,k) = xyzcell{6};

Use fopen to open the file and then use fscanf or fgetl to read in the content. You can also use fread. For example, the following code reads the first line of the text.

fid = fopen(v,'r');
tline = fgetl(fid);
fclose(fid)

Just to remember close the file using fclose afterwards.

doc fopen
doc fclose
doc fread
doc fscanf
doc fgetl
