reading the previous line in a text file

use txtscan instead of fgetl like this:
fid = fopen(InputFile);
txtData = textscan(fid,'%[^\n\r]');
txtData = txtData{:};
fclose(fid);
this saves the whole file in a cell array... each line in a cell of the array.. you can choose the line you want by using its index.
