On 09/30/2009 05:32 AM, s4y asked why the code:
[fid] = fopen("test2.txt", "r", "native");
[m, count] = fscanf(fid, "%f:%f:%f %f %f %f %f %f %f",[2,9]);
fclose(fid);

incorrectly chops up the following data file

16:09:06   32.41   32.63   36.43    36.63   36.65   34.56
16:09:13   32.39   35.63   46.43    66.83   26.65   34.56

The best way to think about it is that fscanf() reads a stream of data into a single column, which can then be reshaped. You ask for a [2,9] form, which chops 2-row-long columnar pieces and assembles them into 9 columns. If you do

[m, count] = fscanf(fid, "%f:%f:%f %f %f %f %f %f %f",[9,2]);

and transpose ( m' ) you will get your desired result.
