I used textscan :
c=textscan(fid,'%*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %f');

but the output is:
c=
[18x1 double]

can i get the entire column as i have to get sum of all the four
numbers in the said column..

try

c=textscan(fid,'%*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %f %*f %*f %*f %*f');

all twelve columns must be accounted for in the format string.

Thanks Per, i read the column successfully...its wonderful..
one more thing, the file which i read i formatted it but the original
file has some strings above and below the numerical data(rows and
cols)...in the presence of those strings the file cant be read by the
said command and it gives the result:
C =

    {[]}
which is a 1 by 0 matrix... how can i read it now..

one of the many solutions

% assume <foo.txt> is your ascii file

     fnam='foo.txt'; % your file
     nc=12; % your # of cols
     ec=8; % col to be extracted
     n=textread(fnam,'%n');
     n=reshape(n,nc,[]).';
     m=n(:,ec); % the 8th col
% the result
     type(fnam);
     n
     m

Dear us
ur piece of code is giving error at 'textread...'....i can read the
particular column using textscan command only when i have only numbers
in the file....as soon as i get strings in the file which are the
headings f the columns, i am unable to read the data..

well, why did you not say so earlier!? instead of wasting CSSM's
time...
as i said:
% assume <foo.txt> is YOUR ascii-file (assuming with the
% anatomy as posted in the OP...

now, if you have headerlines, use the additional option

     nhdr=2; % # of headers
     n=textread(fnam,'%n','headerlines',nhdr);
% rest of snippet

i used ur piece of code but it gives few errors which i cudnt
remove... i used the following commands which works only for numbers
and output an empty matrix when there are headers in the file..

fid=fopen('foo.txt');
c=textscan(fid,'%*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %*f %f %*f %*f %*f %*f',
9,'headerLines',2); % bcoz there are two headers
fclose(fid);

Error is in the line:
 n=reshape(n,nc,[]).';
and the error is:
"Product of known dimensions, 12, not divisible into total number of
elements, 1".

I am using the following command:
n=textscan(fid,'%f','headerlines',hdr); %where hdr=2

note: i did NOT use <textscan>, i used <textread>...
please, try the snippet i showed you <as is> with your file
name...
then: report CSSM this

     whos n % if(f) you still get the error...

well, ur code worked perfectly without headers but wid headers its not
working even using 'textread' and gives error in textread, hav a look
at the code pl:
     fid= fopen('foo.txt');
    hdr=2;
     nc=12; % your # of cols
     ec=8; % col to be extracted
     n=textread(fid,'%n','headerlines',hdr);
     k=reshape(n,nc,[]).';
     m=k(:,ec); % the 8th col

well, for one: you don't need to open the file if you're using
<textread>...
just do

     type foo.txt
% and show the output

% then type
     n=textread('foo.txt',<...>)
% then report
     whos n

naturally, none of the proposed solutions will work...

now, if we put your file's contents - copy/paste EXACTLY as you've

ok, using the code snippet proposed in the last post, this shows up
here (using your file's contents):

% the specs
     fnam='foo.txt';
     ec=8;
     nhdr=3; % !!!!!
% the engine
     n=textread(fnam,'%s',...
               'headerlines',nhdr,...
               'delimiter','\n');
     ix=strmatch('-',n(:,1));

i m still getting error using exactly ur code... the erroe is in the
line:
n=cellfun(@(x) strread(x,'%n'),n,'uni',false)
and the error is:
Too many inputs.

<SNIP very bad news...

very, very bad news, indeed...
you're obviously running an older ML version; what's your output of

     version

can you upgrade?

i m using MATLAB 7.0.... which is latest i guess

muhdzubair:
<SNIP ways behind...

> i m using MATLAB 7.0.... which is latest i guess...

unfortunately: no; the latest is

     version
% ans = 7.4.0.287 (R2007a)

the new <cellfun> functionality, which the snippet uses, was
introduced in version 7.1
again, can you upgrade?
otherwise, you'd have to replace the simple <cellfun> command
with a (simple) for-loop...
