Recover a corrupt mat file v7.3, ran out of disk space

Hi,

I have a corrupt v7.3 mat file. I ran out of disk space while writing to it using matfile. It contains data from a 1 week computation, so I'd really like to try to open it.

When I try to call matfile() on it, I get the error: Unable to read MAT-file filename.mat: not a binary MAT-file.

I searched around and found the the splitmat function, which can help sometimes. This didn't work for my file.

Thanks for your kind help,

TR
