dlmread

Read a delimited text file into a matrix.

Syntax

M = dlmread(filename)
M = dlmread(filename, dlm)
M = dlmread(filename, dlm, row, col)
M = dlmread(filename, dlm, range)

Description

Like csvread but with a configurable column delimiter dlm (any single character — comma, tab, semicolon, etc.). With no dlm, auto-detects.

Examples

dlmread('data.tsv', '\t')
dlmread('data.txt', ';', 1, 0)
