<font face="Times New Roman">Hello,<br>
<br>
I am trying to make a script to process some data. Right now I have a
little trouble with reading this data onto my variables, that I can´t
figure out from the Scilab help. I use Scilab-4.1.2 on Windows 98.<br>
<br>
I am a beginner with this kind of program (Scilab, Octave or Matlab), I
appologise for what seems to me a very basic question. But I have tried
my best to understand it by now.<br>
<br>
My data file is:<br>
</font>
<hr size="2" width="100%"><font face="Times New Roman"><font
face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">4.02 45<br>
4.26 29.9<br>
4.41 30<br>
4.43 30.1<br>
4.75 19.9<br>
4.97 20<br>
5 20.1<br>
5.26 14.9<br>
5.57 15<br>
5.6 15.1<br>
5.7 15.1<br>
5.87 10.9<br>
6.24 11<br>
6.46 11.1<br>
6.61 7.9<br>
7.2 8.1<br>
7.27 8.2<br>
7.32 8<br>
8.23 4.9<br>
9.15 5<br>
9.55 5.1<br>
9.7 5.1<br>
17.36 1.9<br>
17.8 2.5<br>
18.4 2.4<br>
19.36 2<br>
<br>
</font></font>
<hr size="2" width="100%"><font face="Times New Roman"><br>
The first lines of my main function are:<br>
<br>
</font>
<hr size="2" width="100%"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">
Z = read('(...path...)\input.txt',-1,2);<br>
X = Z(1)';<br>
Y = (Z(2))';<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman"><font
face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">// X = Z(1);<br>
// Y = Z(2);</font><br>
</font>
<hr size="2" width="100%"><br>
Using the debugger I have found that the Z matrix has all the data on
the input file. Now I wanted to have on column of data on X and Y
vectors. I have tried the commented two lines. All these tries had the
same result: after the execution of the third line X has the value 4.02
and only; Y has 4.26 value, and only. Z has all the data values in the
form [ aa.a bb.b; cc.c dd.d; ... ].<br>
<br>
What should I do?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance,<br>
<br>
Andre<br>
