Read Particular Line Number from String-Num Text File

Hi,

I have the following text file saved as .dat or .txt file...

103   (ABCDEF GEF HIJ KLMN)

BS  25
gravity_axis = y

As you can see there are numbers as well as strings. I want Matlab to read from a particular line number when needed. e.g.

 At line-1 and Col-1 : 103 
 At line-2 and Col-1 : BS
 At line-2 and Col-2 : 25
 At line-3 and Col-1 : gravity_axis
 At line-3 and Col-3 : y

So, I want it these be read through their respective addresses in a simple code.

Best regards, REHAN

The question is not clear. What is the desired output?

Answer 1

[KSSV]

fid = fopen('yourfile') ;
S = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n') ;
fclose(fid) ;
S=S{1} ;

You can access your lines using S{1}, S{2} etc.

Thanks a lot.

But still I cannot get column-wise entries. I mean to say that with your code, I am getting rows (lines). But from within lines I am unable to get text (Number or string) at particular position within the selected line.
