Unable to read completely a text file

I have the following text file at the bottom, where every line ends with a semicolon. I am unable to read the entire file with these commands. I only obtain the content of the first line. Any help in reading the entire file would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

fileID = fopen(filename);
data = textscan(fileID, '%d %f %d %d %d', 'EndOfLine', ';')
fclose(fileID);

"filename.txt"

37 0.033 119 131 7;

38 0.034 138 138 8;

39 0.035 138 144 9;

40 0.035 138 150 10;

41 0.036 157 157 11;

42 0.037 157 163 12;

43 0.038 157 169 13;

44 0.039 176 176 14;

45 0.040 176 182 15;

46 0.041 176 189 17;

47 0.042 195 195 18;

48 0.043 195 202 20;

49 0.043 195 208 21;

50 0.044 215 215 23;

Try something like this instead —

data = textscan(fileID, '%d %f %d %d %d;')

The format string should then read it correctly.

format shortG
FirstLine = '37    0.033             119             131               7;';
data = textscan(FirstLine, '%f %f %f %f %f;', 'CollectOutput',1)

data = 1×1 cell array
    {[37 0.033 119 131 7]}

datam = cell2mat(data)

datam = 1×5

37 0.033 119 131 7

I made them all '%f' so that cell2mat would work with them.

This worked, thank you!

However, I was wondering why the option

'EndOfLine', ';'

wouldn't work.

As always, my pleasure!

It wouldn’t work because a semicolon is not an end-of-line operator. Those are almost always either '\n' or '\r\n'. Other combinations may exist, however I’m not aware of them.

OK, thank you.
