And here's my code:

clear all, close all; clc;
load('odev8.dat','-ascii')

When I tried to load with this code i get that error;

Error using load Number of columns on line 27 of ASCII file I:\Yedekleme\Eğitim\Elektromanyetik Yonteml\Odev_2020\Odev8\Veri-program\odev8.dat must be the same as previous lines.

Answer 1

You may have to read it line by line with fgetl() and sscanf().

It's hard for us to know since no one here is using such an old version. I know I'd use

fileName = 'odev8.dat';
allData = readmatrix(fileName)

but I don't know if your old version has readmatrix(). Note: allData will have the nans in it but you can get rid of lines that have nan if you want.

Maybe try importdata().
