Read .txt file into a matrix

Hi!

I would like to ask for suggestions on how could I read the data downloaded in a .txt document from:

https://mls.jpl.nasa.gov/data/ak/MLS-Aura_L2AK-O3-LAT70N_v04-2x_0000d000.txt

into a 55 x 55 double in Matlab.

Thanks!

Try this

M = readmatrix('MLS-Aura_L2AK-O3-LAT70N_v04-2x_0000d000.txt', 'NumHeaderLines', 22);

M = reshape(M.', 60, []).';
M = M(:, 1:55);

Hi

Thank you

After the first step, I get a 529 x 6 double, but when using reshape, it complains that

"Product of known dimensions, 60, not divisible into total number of elements, 3174."

Are you using the same file you gave in the link? After first line, M should be 550x6.

Yes, it works now. Perfect! Thank you
