including a data file

how would you include a data file in code

the matrix is large therefore i would prefer to quote it but i dont know how to do that

any help is much appreciated

matrices are the same size, dont know how to append it

Providing far more specifics about your problem and objective might lead to some responses...this is too general to know where to begin.

Did you try the usual input routines such as importdata(), dlmread(), xlsread(), readtable(), readmatrix(), etc.?

"the matrix is large therefore i would prefer to quote it but i dont know how to do that"

If this is an invariant dataset to load at the beginning of a script or the like, it's always possible to just have an m-file that contains the assignment statement with the data values in it...then your script just calls that m-file and returns the result.

But, if it's relly large, reading it once and then saving as a .mat file that your script load 's will be faster by quite a bit.

You can save() numeric files to text files and load() them as needed, or do a minor edit on the text file to make it an assignment statement that or function that returns the value.
