I'm trying to open a .dat file and tried solutions previously posted.
This solution at least recognized 6 columns and 112 lines, but the output is gibberish
filename = 'CH01.dat';
opt = detectImportOptions(filename, 'filetype', 'text');
t = readtable(filename, opt);
By gibberish, I mean like this:
Z�@ ���S`@33333�@z �\���K�@ �@ 4@ Z�@ ���S
I can't attach the file because the format is not supported.

"I can't attach the file because the format is not supported."
Either change the file extension to .txt or zip it up, then upload it.
