Thread Subject: How can i read a binary file?

Hi all,

I'm trying to read my binary file "data.W0021" which is composed of data like:

0.0000000 -0.14310697
0.0010000 -0.16618958
0.0020000 -0.17370732

i use fopen and fread commands and can manage to import datas, but what i really need is, to get a matrix like that, which i cannot get:

[ 0.0000000 -0.14310697
    0.0010000 -0.16618958
    0.0020000 -0.17370732 ]

Can anybody help me?

you will easily find out how the data is organized in your binary file.
Just use this knowledge to sort and arrange the data in the way you want
it to be represented.

A = (fscanf(fopen('data.w0021','%f',[2,3]))';

Sorry, I have missed one parenthesis. It should be
A = (fscanf(fopen('data.w0021'), '%g', [3,2]))';
