Hi everone,
I want to extract the number that in front of Volt[M/Y] from alarge Text file. the structure of the file is described bellow. After reading the files in matlab, i want to look for the numbers in front of Volt [M/Y]. I succeded reading the files, and i also tried to solve the task with the matlab function regexp:
Data= regexp(A,'M/Y]\s*\w*$','tokens');
I have a dificulty to write the aproppriate expression to save the right number. Could you plase give any hints?
Thank you

hello
my 2 cents suggestion (as I still struggle with regexp !)
bs = split(fileread('data.txt'));
values = bs(find(strcmp(bs,'[M/Y]')>0) + 1);
