Using txt file to form Matrix

Say I have the following data in a text file

Node_Coordinates (x,y)
0 0
4 5
8 0
12 5

Loads(Node#, Load, Direction)
1 200 0
3 100 180

Boundary_Conditions (Node, dof, direction of movement)
2 0 0
4 0 0

How can I make a matrix for each different table?

What is the actual content of the file? The data or the data and text? Show us precisely what the format of the file is--use the code button to format the file so word wrap and stuff doesn't change it from how is in the file itself outside of how it looks for visualization.

Hello there, I've updated the text file to reflect what it actually looks like. Thank you

OK, yes, that makes a big difference.

For such a file, you'll have to read line-by-line and find the keyword for each section and then read the data arrays after having found such.

Since there are only 2D node coordinates but three values for the other variables you'll also have to match the input format string to the data section.
