Matlab can not split the txt file.

Hello
I have a text file which matlab can not split to different cell arrays using import data command.
The text file can be seen here< http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41359279/SIG20015.TXT>:
Since I have many of these files I really do not know how to solve the issue, can anybody help? Thanks
I can bring the data to matlab arrays using the lines below:
  • delimiterIn = ' ';
  • headerlinesIn = 100;
  • A = importdata(path,delimiterIn,headerlinesIn);
where path is the address I use to open the text file, but it takes all the data of a line to one cell array but I can not do any analysis on it.
Best regards
Saeed

textscan() with HeaderLines as appropriate, and format '%f%f%f%f%s%f%f'

Dear Walter and Pedro
Hi
Thanks for your answers, Yap at last I used textscan command to scan the data. And it works fine. I just did not want to use a loop for taking the results out because I thought it might be time consuming because I will have 10000 of those files. But it works fine. Thanks a lot.
Best regards
