dlmread (MATLAB Function Reference)

Read an ASCII delimited file into a matrix

M = dlmread(filename,delimiter)
M = dlmread(filename,delimiter,r,c)
M = dlmread(filename,delimiter,r,c,range)

Description

M = dlmread(filename,delimiter)

reads data from the ASCII delimited format filename, using the delimiter delimiter. Use '\t' to specify a tab.

M = dlmread(filename,delimiter,r,c)

reads data from the ASCII delimited format filename, using the delimiter delimiter, starting at file offset r and c. r and c are zero based so that r=0, c=0 specifies the first value in the file.

M = dlmread(filename,delimiter,r,c,range)

imports an indexed or named range of ASCII-delimited data. To use the cell range, specify range by:

range = [UpperLeftRow UpperLeftColumn LowerRightRow 
LowerRightColumn]

Arguments




delimiter

The character separating individual matrix elements in the ASCII- format spreadsheet file. A comma (,) is the default delimiter.


r, c

The spreadsheet cell from which the upper-left-most matrix element is taken.


range

A vector specifying a range of spreadsheet cells.

`delimiter`	The character separating individual matrix elements in the ASCII- format spreadsheet file. A comma (,) is the default delimiter.
`r, c`	The spreadsheet cell from which the upper-left-most matrix element is taken.
`range`	A vector specifying a range of spreadsheet cells.
