Hello,
I've been struggling with textscan for some time now, if anyone could point me in the right direction here I'd be eternally grateful.
I have a text file with data in the following format:
Eu3+ 1
10.06037350 -4.673610300 -1.834337367 1.22604929765 -2.02696902730 0.734136756877 10517.3113705 -9795.46057045 -2441.96899290
… and this is repeated (1510 times, to be precise)
What I am trying to achieve (for the time being), is simply to extract the first 5 entries and define as a vector, so in this instance I would simply want something like
C = [ Eu3+ 1 10.06 -4.67 -1.83]
and then the following 6 entries can be discarded.
I have tried multiple variants of ideas, along the lines of:
C = textscan(fid,'%s%d8%f32%f32%f32');
But I am continually failing to produce the vector mentioned above.
Please, Matlab community, can you help me?
Kind regards,
Tom
