readline.m v4.0
USAGE:
% Reads the first line (default)
s = readline('data.txt');
% Reads the 8th line
s = readline('data.txt',8);
% Reads the [1 2 4 8] lines
s = readline('data.txt',[1 2 4 8]);
% Reads last 7 lines
s = readline('data.txt',[-7; -1]);
% Or just, reads the whole file
s = readline('data.txt','all');
NOTES:
In general, the output is a cell of strings. You may force a string matrix output with a third argument
s = readline('data.txt','all','string');
