MATLAB: Tab key reading problem

Question

Good morning,

I'm trying to read in matlab a ".txt" with the following shape

"RechSt.CalculateP_Usage=0¶

RechSt.CalcWithMidTol=0¶

RechSt.ScoringStandard=0¶"

Having a tab key at the end of each line. When I read it with MATLAB it changes to a symbol like � and therefore, when trying to use the saving file in another software, it gives me an error because it doesn't read the symbol � as a tab key (¶).

How could I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sergio,

Check if this works for you.

s=importdata('inp.txt')
filePh = fopen('outp.txt','w');
fprintf(filePh,'%s\n',s{:});
fclose(filePh);
