I have data sets that are text file that look something like this:
Area Mean Min Max
1 25 239 170 351
2 25 250.120 155 442
3 25 259.360 159 477
I have been using a code that uses fscanf to read these files into arrays. However, I have to delete the header of the text files for it to work properly. Here is the bit of code with fscanf:
fprintf('\n reading in .txt file')
if nFile > 1 filename = filenameAll{dataind}; formatSpec = '%f%f%f%f%f%[^\n\r]'; fid = fopen([pathname filename]); rawdata=fscanf(fid, '%f %f %f %f %f', [6 inf]); rawdata=rawdata'; else fid = fopen([pathname filenameAll]); rawdata=fscanf(fid, '%f %f %f %f %f', [6 inf]); rawdata=rawdata'; end
Is there a way to "tell" the code to ignore alphabetical letters? Or instead, to remove the letters before using fscanf?
Thanks in advance!
