MATLAB: Textscan blanks disappears from file

blanksMATLABread txtspacetextscan

Hi guys,
when i read my text file which looks like this:
              0.0000           0.3826004
              0.0100            0.395591
              0.0199           0.4085815
the blanks in the front get lost so my output looks like this:
 0.0100            0.395591
my code is simple:
 fileID=fopen(fullfile(pathname,files));     
formatSpec = '%s';
input = textscan(fileID,formatSpec,'delimiter','\n');
fclose(fileID);
i want to handle it as strings because the shape of the file is arbitrary thanks

Best Answer

Had to add
 input = textscan(fileID,formatSpec,'delimiter','\n','whitespace','');
