How to remove commas?

Hello everyone,

I want to remove commas between each letter and read the text file for example as follows:

a='matlab'

dlmwrite('a.txt',a)

dlmread('a.txt',a)= m,a,t,l,a,b

But I want the result to be shown as =>matlab

Any help would be appreciated.

I suspect setting the Delimiter would solve this. Did you read the doc?

I also tried

dlmread('a.txt',',')

didn’t work out either

Please attach your data.txt file. I need to see if the m, a, t, etc. are letters or numbers. For example is it really 1,2,4456,876 that you really want to become a character string '124456876', or a number 124456876, which might not be possible depending on how many digits and decimal points there are.

Sir ,

The file consists

M,A,T,L,A,B

I just want to read the above text file as MATLAB without commas

a = 'MATLAB' ;
dlmwrite('data.txt',a,'delimiter','')

When I type

dlmread('data.txt')

It doesn’t work unfortunately.

Read https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/dlmread.html, you need to specify positions to skip the text.
