MATLAB: How to read data one by one

read file

The file is like
2
0.5 0.6 0.7
0.0 -2.5 6.3
The first line is the number of points. The others are the coordinates of those points x y z.
In C++, we have
   ifstream fin("coordinate.txt"); 
   fin>>num;
   for(int i=0; i<num; i++)
{
      fin>>array[i][0]>>array[i][1]>>array[i][2];
}
What are the corresponding code in MATLAB?

Best Answer

It should be sufficient to write
filename='coordinates.txt';
[x,y,z] = dataread('file', filename, '%f%f%f', 'delimiter',...
    ' ', 'headerlines', 1);
