As in fscanf , any non-whitespace text in the format that is not one of these specifiers is considered a literal. If there is a literal between two format specifiers then that same literal must appear in the input stream between the matching words.
The word is parsed as a number and converted to int8, int16, int32, or int If no size is specified then int32 is used. The word is parsed as a number and converted to uint8, uint16, uint32, or uint If no size is specified then uint32 is used. The word is parsed as a string ending at the last character before whitespace, an end-of-line, or a delimiter specified in the options. The word is parsed as a "quoted string". If the first character of the string is a double quote " then the string includes everything until a matching double quote—including whitespace, delimiters, and end-of-line characters.
If a pair of consecutive double quotes appears in the input, it is replaced in the output by a single double quote. The next character of the input is read. This includes delimiters, whitespace, and end-of-line characters.
In the first form, the word consists of the longest run consisting of only characters between the brackets. For the other specifiers, it is an upper bound on the number of characters read; normal delimiters can cause fewer characters to be read. For complex numbers, this limit applies to the real and imaginary components individually.
Mf are allowed, where M is an upper bound on number of characters after the decimal point to be considered; subsequent digits are skipped. In addition the format may contain literal character strings; these will be skipped during reading. If the input string does not match this literal, the processing terminates.
Parsed words corresponding to the first specifier are returned in the first output argument and likewise for the rest of the specifiers. This means that numbers are read from the input into a single column vector. If format is explicitly empty "" then textscan will return data in a number of columns matching the number of fields on the first data line of the input.
Either of these is suitable only when the input is exclusively numeric. The optional numeric argument repeat can be used for limiting the number of items read:. Read until the first of two conditions occurs: 1 the format has been processed N times, or 2 N lines of the input have been processed. Zero 0 is an acceptable value for repeat. The following properties are recognized:. This specifies the number of bytes to use for the internal buffer. A modest speed improvement may be obtained by setting this to a large value when reading a large file, especially if the input contains long strings.
The default is , or a value dependent on n if that is specified. A value of 1 or true instructs textscan to concatenate consecutive columns of the same class in the output cell array. A value of 0 or false default leaves output in distinct columns.
Specify parts of the input which are considered comments and will be skipped. Comments are only parsed where whitespace is accepted and do not act as delimiters. If value is a string, any character in value will be used to split the input into words. If value is a cell array of strings, any string in the array will be used to split the input into words. Value to return for empty numeric values in non-whitespace delimited data.
The default is NaN. When the data type does not support NaN int32 for example , then the default is zero. The first value number of lines of fid are skipped. Note that this does not refer to the first non-comment lines, but the first lines of any type. If value is nonzero, treat a series of consecutive delimiters, without whitespace in between, as a single delimiter.
Consecutive delimiter series need not be vertically aligned. Without this option, a single delimiter before the end of the line does not cause the line to be considered to end with an empty value, but a single delimiter at the start of a line causes the line to be considered to start with an empty value. Treat single occurrences surrounded by delimiters or whitespace of the string s in value as missing values. If set to 0 or false, return an error and no data.
Data columns are padded with empty fields, NaN or 0 for integer fields so that all columns have equal length. The second output position provides the location, in characters from the beginning of the file or string, where processing stopped.

Read the matrix starting two rows below the first row from the file described in the previous example. Read the matrix bounded by row offsets 1 and 2 and column offsets 0 and 2 from the file described in the first example. Example: 'myFile. Data Types: char string. Starting row offset, specified as a nonnegative integer. The first row has an offset of 0. Data Types: single double int8 int16 int32 int64 uint8 uint16 uint32 uint Starting column offset, specified as a nonnegative integer.
The first column has an offset of 0. Ending row offset, specified as a nonnegative integer. Ending column offset, specified as a nonnegative integer. Skip header rows or columns by specifying row and column offsets. All values in the file other than headers must be numeric. When the csvread function reads data files with lines that end with a nonspace delimiter, such as a semicolon, it returns a matrix, M , that has an additional last column of zeros. The table shows valid forms for a complex number.
Embedded white space in a complex number is invalid and is regarded as a field delimiter. You should use a CSV file writer in your program rather than roll your own. Also, you should update your Octave version current version is 3. Yours is a very very old version. Show 3 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Using octave 3.

I'm wondering now, if I want to plot the data, say the first column vs. Do I need to then parse the data so that column 1 falls under one variable and column 3 under another?
I don't know how to do this yet but I'm just trying to get my head around what needs to be done — user Say A is your double Variable. Add a comment. Your not storing you. Neil FrozenMonkey FrozenMonkey 31 1 1 bronze badge.
