How to load/import a text file with strange format in matlab -

i have extract data text file weird format matlab cannot since there text , functions know not work in case. data arranged in different sets (more 200) of 2000 values each.

here how formatted data in text file :

the first lines of set those

@legend string   0 "partition=  1 excit=  1 near/far= 1" #legend string   0 "lab energy =  737.0000" @s0 linestyle   1 #  theta       sigma       it11        t20         t21         t22         kyy projectile   0.1000e-01   1.000       0.1000e-01   1.000       0.2000e-01   1.001       0.3000e-01   1.001     

this goes on , on until

   19.98      0.1659        19.99      0.1654        20.00      0.1649      end 

the end text denotes end of set. then, new set begins

@legend string   1 "partition=  1 excit=  2 near/far= 1" #legend string   0 "lab energy =  737.0000" @s1 linestyle   2 #  theta       sigma       it11        t20         t21         t22         kyy projectile    0.000       26.40       0.1000e-01   26.41       0.2000e-01   26.45       0.3000e-01   26.52  

and until end.

as "headers" of each set same , number of lines per set same, extract sets want selecting rows of matrix want... how import text file matrix or anything?

thanks

you can use this

fid = fopen( 'file1.txt' ); tline = fgetl(fid); while ischar(tline)       disp(tline) %your parsing code here    tline = fgetl(fid); end fclose( fid );
