MATLAB: .mat file corrupt

conver

Hello,

I tried to open this .mat file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20782274/MOTNL.MAT

But I get the following error:

Error using load
Unknown text on line number 1 of ASCII file
<some path>/MOTNL.MAT
"MATLAB".

I opened this .mat file in notepad and I saw it was created in Matlab 5.0 in 1999. So I believe this is a conversion error? So if this is the case could anyone maybe upconvert it? So I can open it with Matlab 2012a?

Try

 load('MOTNL.MAT', '-mat')

Remember, Linux is case-sensitive, so possibly the .MAT is throwing it off.

aLoad = load( 'a.mat' );
bLoad = load( 'b.mat' );
save( 'ab.mat', '-struct', 'aLoad' );
save( 'ab.mat', '-struct', 'bLoad', '-append' );

works. It's probably neater to merge the structs and do a single save, but I couldn't remember off the top of my head how to do that so if this is a one-time operation then that solution works fine.
