the function rinexread meets your needs. And it is available from R2022a onwards in Navigation Toolbox.

Hello Mohammed,

As far as I know, Matlab does not support reading of RINEX observation/navigation files. I created functions and classes to read RINEX and other GNSS-related files (see GNSS-toolbox). You can load RINEX to Matlab OBSRNX object as following:

addpath(genpath('path_to_GNSS-toolbox/src')); % Add path to toolbox functionality
obs = OBSRNX('your_rinex_filepath');

When the OBSRNX object is created in Matlab you can querry observations and perform slicing as you want. I do not test it under R2009a, but I guess it should work.

Hello, I have downloaded the code and was using it for testing my RINEX navigation and observation files but the function keeps giving me errors.

Can you please guide me what am I doing wrong here?

thank you and please find the attached screen shot to this comment.

You need to modify the code based on version of your RINEX files. My code works only with RINEX 2.10 files.

str2num is not returning a scalar. Possibly the text to be converted is blank or has more than one number.

In most cases, str2double should be used if exactly one number is expected.

Thank you I will see if I can modify the code for the latest RINEX versions.

MATLAB supports reading RINEX data directly into MATLAB from R2022a onwards. Use the function rinexread. See https://mathworks.com/help/nav/ref/rinexread.html
