[Scilab-users] Advice needed on file parsing

[Richard llom]

Hello fellow scilab-users,
I'm writing a script to read and process files, which are constructed as
follows:
<file start>
PCB: 007
ASM: 000
LOT: 00000
FW:  1477971088
CH1:  AMPS   10A
CH2:  VOLT   60V
SMPL: 0064 0125Hz
DESC: 12V CU LOG
UTC TIME SEC  ,CH1 AMPS DC  ,CH2 VOLT DC  
1497812372.910, 8.609146E-03, 1.210613E001
1497812373.895, 1.577809E-01, 1.207540E001
1497812374.578, 1.010268E000, 1.193087E001
... [snip]
<file end>

To process this file further, I need:
1)
the first eight lines stored in pairs, e.g. 
info(1,1) should yield "PCB" and info(1,2) should yield "007" (string is ok)

2)
line #9 (header), should be available as header(1)="UTC TIME SEC", etc...

3)
line 10+
these should be scanned in as a matrix.


I already tried csvread and msscanf (?), however with no luck so far...


So if someone could just point me to the apropiates function for each task.
I hopefully can take it then from there.
Thanks & cheers
richard
