how can i skip the 4 first lines(headerlines = 4;) and then import only the second columm to a matrix? then the matrix A will have only one columm and i want this one columm matrix to become one row matrix…. for example B=(-2.39 -1.37 -0.89 -0.66)

thank you…

Answer 1

fid = fopen('sample.txt');

Input all:

D = cell2mat(textscan(fid, '%f%f', 'headerlines', 4));

Select just the second column and transpose to turn into row:

B = D(:,2)';
