MATLAB: Multiple delimiters for readtable

MATLABmultipledelimsasonereadtable

Hello,

the data is stored in a text file like this:

Nb11(tab)Nb12 + Nb13 Nb14 + Nb15 Nb16 + Nb17

Nb21(tab)Nb22 + Nb23 Nb24 + Nb25 Nb26 + Nb27

I've tried to use the readtable command:

t = readtable('data.txt','Delimiter','tab +', MultipleDelimsAsOne, true)

and I obtain 4 columns instead of 7:

Nb11Nb12 Nb13Nb14 Nb15Nb16 Nb17

Do you have any suggestions in order to obtain 7 columns?

Thanks

To specify more than one delimiter, use a cell array of character vectors:

t = readtable('data.txt','Delimiter',{'tab', '+'}, MultipleDelimsAsOne, true)

I found out a solution on my own:

You have to specify the delimiter as a cell-array:

    Delim = {'()'};
    table = readtable(SourcePath, 'Delimiter', Delim ,'MultipleDelimsAsOne',1);
