[scilab-Users] Reading data files

[Samuel GOUGEON]

  Hello,

[NumMatrix, TextHeader ] = fscanfMat(filename)
should do just what you want. If you do not need the header :
NumMatrix = fscanfMat(filename)
should be ok
It is also possible to indicate a format for reading numerical data.
--> help fscanfMat

Regards
Samuel

>   I use scilab to  perform numerical anlysis. I usually produce data files with an header that describes the content of the file, so that the first line of the file is a list of characters, while the rest of the file is a numerical matrix.
