MATLAB: Read 1 column .txt file into 1byn matrix

Question

Hello,

I am trying to read file text.txt that looks like this

F1:3B

F2:22

F3:34

and save it in a matrix M, where M(1)=F1:3B etc

Answer 1

fid = fopen('text.txt','rt');
M = textscan(fid,'%s');
fclose(fid)
M = M{1};

Then M will contain a column vector cell array with those strings in it. You can access the strings using cell array indexing, e.g. the second row/string:

M{2}
