MATLAB: Open .raw file

openraw

Hi all,
I'm trying to open a .raw file with fid = fopen('mc-gpu_dose.dat.raw', 'r'); A = fread(fid, 'float32'); but I get the value -1 (only with this file, for others it works). Is it a damaged file or is it possible I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

Do you get "-1" for fid or for A? In the first case, there is no file with this file name. In the second case, the file contains a -1 as float32. I cannot guess, why you assume, that the file is damaged. If you have any reasons to assume, that the file contains something else, explain this with all required details.
A file, which contains a -1 might or might not be "damaged".
