Hi,
I use dlmread to import data form xls files and it works fine all the time except that suddenly it throws error to read one particular file of the same format. The error is :-
Error using dlmread (line 138) Mismatch between file and format string. Trouble reading 'Numeric' field from file (row number 1, field number 1) ==> ÐÏࡱá
I have checked multiple times and the file is completely numeric. I do not understand why this has to happen with only this file. I have been using this script since 3 months without issues on various occasions.
The reading code is :
files=char(fileloc(b)); dev=dlmread(files); f_efficiency(dev,b);where files contain the path to the selected file in string format.
I have attached the file causing the trouble. Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards, Vittal
