% Try this

 fid = fopen('words.txt', 'r'); 
 Data = fread(fid);
 CharData = char(Data);
 fclose(fid);
 disp(Data);
 fid = fopen('email.txt', 'r');
 Data = fread(fid);
 CharData = char(Data);
 fclose(fid);
 disp(Data);

If not works than what is the error..? Show it..

The words.txt has words

be

the

as

if

etc...

but when I run it, it shows numbers

100

110

99

10

etc..

I need to show the words that are in 'word.txt' as result instead of those number.

[Lalit Patil]

 CStr = textread('words.txt', '%s', 'delimiter', '\n')

Try this only single line..

What doesn't work? You read in two files, and that's what you were supposed to do. So what doesn't work? Please copy and paste your error message or whatever else tells you that it is not working.

[Kim]

Ah, it does work but it shows only numbers. The text file contains words but only shows numbers. Is there anyway to make it show whatever is in the file?

[Image Analyst]

Use fgetl() instead of fread().

[Kim]

it is still showing the same thing.

You've accepted an answer, so I guess it's solved now, and I don't need to answer.
