Dear Expert,

I Want to read a binary file consist of float and char format as following:

struct PP

{

char name[9];

float x,y,z,m,n,p,q,r;

};

How can I extract only float data from the binary file with fread .

Answer 1

fid = fopen(myfile,'r') ; 
str = fread(fid,9,'*char')' ;
num = fread(fid,9,'*float') ;
fclose(fid) ;
