MATLAB: Reaching a specific data in txt file

Hello,

suppose I have the file bbb.txt:

    date      intrest  profit  loss   
    24/4/2013  5  232  3232  
    23/4/2013  6  4224  233  
>> Data = importdata('bbb.txt');
>> Data
Data = 
          data: [2x3 double]
      textdata: {3x4 cell}

How can I reach a specific data? Suppose I want the first date or the number 5 in the first row. Thank you!

MATLAB: Find the index of a string is structure

As i understand you right, the field textdata contains cell array with some strings. Let figure that A - structure. Then if you looking for exact coincidence try this:

NumberOfCell=find(cellfun(@strcmp,A.textdata,repmat({'word'},size(A.textdata)))==1)

If textdata contain strings where you want find one word then try this:

NumberOfCell=cell2mat(cellfun(@strfind,A.textdata,repmat({'word'},size(A.textdata)),'UniformOutput',false))

MATLAB: How to import different *.txt file into matlab

To the best of my knowledge the 'import' commands are just not intended to handle more than one file at a time, so your best bet is to get a list and then loop the list.

for i = 1:3;
    flist = dir(['aaa_bbb_ccc',num2str(i),'*.txt']);
    for j = 1:length(flist);
        load(flist(j).name);
    end
end
