I want to extract data from a text file.
The file looks like
+++++++++++++++++++++++
headerlines 1 to 6-unwanted
data lines 1 and 2-unwanted
900; (0d 0h 15m 0s); 0; (0d 0h 0m 0s); 0; (0d 0h 0m 0s); 0; (0d 0h 0m 0s); 0; (0d 0h 0m 0s); 0; ; 0; ; 0.00E0; ; 0.00E0; ; 0.00E0; ; 0.00E0; ; 0.00E0; ; 0.00E0; ; -63.40; ; -61.80; ; -62.47; ; 17.90; ; -100.00; ; -- ; -- ; -- ; -- ; -- ; -- ; -- ; -- ;
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the last line starts with 900 and its a single line all the way.
I am trying to extract and plot separate column from the last line which has numeric value,e.g- 63.40; ; -61.80; ; -62.47; ; 17.90; ; -100.00;
my code looks like
fileID = fopen('sample1.txt');
mydata = textscan(fileID,'%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %d %d %d %d %d %s %s %s %s %s %s %s', 'headerlines',9,';','treatAsEmpty', '--');
fclose(fid);
%which gives and error->>>
??? Error using ==> textscan
Param/value pairs must come in pairs.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.:)
Thanks
