MATLAB: Reading particular amount of char in a string

Question

Hello, I am facing some in following this code:

num = ' .10995E+032078.00176';

size(num);

num1 = num(1:11); %num1 = .10995E+03

num2 = num(12:21); %num2 = 2078.00176

num_w = str2num([num1 num2])

I am getting

num_w =

       Inf    0.0018

Would you please tell me how can I rectify that problem?

Answer 1

Try this:

num = '.10995E+032078.00176';
num1 = str2num(num(1:11));
num2 = str2num(num(12:end));
num_w = [num1 num2]
