how to read as a string

I need to convert that char into string. I am attaching the profiled data,

0x0B55 0x5000 movf 0x00,w,0 144
0x0B56 0x2600 addwf 0x00,f,0 144
0x0B58 0x3602 rlcf 0x02,f,0 144
0x0B59 0x3603 rlcf 0x03,f,0 144

I need to read the mneumonics alone from each line. Eg. movf from first line, addwf from second line, rlcf from third line.

how to read that words alone as strings

try textread command

I formatted your Question, but I had to guess about where the line boundaries were.

I tried with textscan it reads as char and it is not a string

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

fid1 = fopen('M:\decompiler\dct.txt','rt');
datacell = textscan(fid1, '%*s%*s%s%*[^\n]', 'delimiter, ' \t');
fclose(datacell);
mnemonics = datacell{1};

This will be a cell array of strings, one string per line. For example mnemonics{2} would be the string from the second line.

However, as I indicated in your other question, a string is a row vector of char, so when I say "cell array of strings" I mean that it will be a cell array of row vectors of char, one row vector per line, and mnemonics{2} would be the row vector of char that is the mnemonic.
