Hello,
I have a text file, call it 'test.txt', which is formatted as follows (first few lines):
% Model: modelname.mph
% X Y data
-2.4352193692676705E-5 -2.4323730047927036E-5 2.4407735112883654E-15

Basically the X and Y columns correspond to a 2d grid, and the data column is the value at that point on the grid. Ultimately I want to make a 2d color plot with this data. To import it I have the following:
fileID = fopen('test.txt');
formatSpec = '%f %f %f';
A = cell2mat(textscan(fileID,formatSpec));
fclose(fileID);
The code runs, but gives me an empty 0x3 array. This seems like it should be very simple, but I am just missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without having the file, it is difficult to say. The first two header lines are commented out in your post. If they are present in your actual file (with or without the ‘%’ signs), adding 'HeaderLines' to the argument list could work:
In = textscan(fileID,formatSpec, 'HeaderLines',2, 'CollectOutput,1);
fclose(fileID);
A = cell2mat(In);
I would break the textscan and cell2mat calls out into separate lines. This allows you to see what textscan is producing first.

As always, my pleasure!
No worries. I am sure the program you exported the data from meant well.
