I have a text file with tab delimiter. I use
B=dlmread('mon3.txt','',[2 0 20 1]);size (B)
With whatever combination of range, I cannot read the file. If I remove
"Array 1 8192 #startdata" from the first line then I am able to read the file. Its strange. Pls help how to get rid of this problem. Using textscan and fread gives strange values. I want to attach the file mon3.txt itself, but dont know how to do it.
Secondly, I want to mention that I do read variety of files using dlmread and never has any problem.
tks

dlmread() can only be used for files that are completely numeric, including in the portions of the file that are to be skipped.
Please show a typical line, and please show your attempt to use textscan()
