I want to know through which commands, it can be openned, so as to abolish the first row and so as for a comma to be put between the second and the third column. I started with the following code:
fileID = fopen(C:\Users\GB\Desktop\topo);
c = textscan(fileID,'%f %f %f')

Best Answer

I have found the answer:
M = dlmread('C:\Users\G\Desktop\topo.txt','  '); %replace path as appropriate 
M(:,1) = []
dlmwrite('C:\Users\G\Desktop\myfile.txt',M,',')
