Yeah, the shortcut I took doesn't go to the next line after the fscanf()
call. Since it's so irregular, to get more lines that are
near-contiquous (assuming the number of blank lines is also fixed) I'd
just continue w/ the fgetl() tack instead of writing explicit number of
fields...sotoo
l=fgetl(fid);
Nreq=sscanf(l,' Nrequired= %d');
l=fgetl(fid);
Tot_RL=sscanf(l,' TotRL= %f');
l=fgetl(fid);
tolamax=sscanf(l,' tolamax= %f');
l=fgetl(fid);
l=fgetl(fid);
Moves=sscanf(l,' Results for %f');
etc...
NB you've got to read past the blank line(s), too...
You should be able to get fscanf() (or even textscan() ) to work as well
w/ the inclusion of counting the fields and a %*[^\n] string to skip the
\n characters (be sure to use 'rt' of the fopen in Windows to ensure the
proper NL characters are recognized assuming the file also comes from
Windows) but it's simpler to just let fgetl() take care of each reading
getting to the next record imo...
Untested, salt to suit...
