Multiple lines in one cell using textscan

6 views (last 30 days)
Hey,
I am trying to read files in which each data entry is limited by ";".
If I use textscan and set ';' as delimiter, it starts new cells when it reaches ";", but also every time a new line starts.
Is there a way to get textscan to only start a new cell when it reads the delimiter and ignore newline characters?
Thanks in advance.

Can you show the textscan command you are using? LineEnding is introduced in later releases.

FileStringsDraft=textscan(fid,'%s','Delimiter',';','CommentStyle','#','EndOfLine',';');
This is the one I've been trying now. The EndOfLine option seems to work now. Thank you.
