MATLAB: Issue with fscanf not reading more than 1 row

Question

I'm trying to pull data from a file using fscanf. The data file is formatted as you see in the fscanf below, and has 20 rows. I'm only getting 1 row's worth of data stored into A. I thought fscanf was supposed to read till the end of the file but it seems to only be reading the one line. Is there a way to correct it so it stores the data from all 20 rows?

fid = fopen('myfile.dat');
fgetl(fid); fgetl(fid);
A = fscanf(fid,'%f %f %f %f %*s %*s');
B = reshape(A,4,20)'

Answer 1

Check whether you have any special characters at the end of each line. I have similar program. It didn't have problem. Add fclose(fid) at the end just in case.

myfile.data contains the following

1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b
1 2 3 4 a b

Run your code, it has

B =
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
     1     2     3     4
