Hi!
I want to import data from a text file looking like this:
0 0.498102540633 0.235170603626 490.895642209.....
16 0.496103035619 0.156469393101 495.016403917.....
32 0.497132916139 0.184344917004 504.450161031.....
The problem is the spacing between the columns. It's not one regular tab delimiter, it's two. I can't seem to find a method that cope with this. By using "simple" commands that don't accept multi-charcter delimiters and just typing '\t' will result in a matrix where every second row is NAN.
Anyone who can help me with this?
Cheers

If you are using textscan, you can use the 'MultipleDelimsAsOne',1 option among the name-value pair arguments.

You can use the next fuction, too: A = load('NameFile.txt'); the information will be stored into variable A.
