Reading in array from txt file

I'm trying to read in a txt file but MATLAB is only reading in the last column and showing zeros where the other data should be? I checked the txt file and the data is there, and all the values are separated by spaces. Any idea why the first columns are being read in as zeros? My code looks like this:

load ScenarioA.txt; load ScenarioB.txt; ScenarioA

Your format setting could be the problem. See if setting

format short g

in your script solves the problem.

Example —

format short
x = [1E-10  10]
format short g
x = [1E-10  10]

x =
    0.0000   10.0000

x =
        1e-10           10
