Re: Octave beginner-reading info from text file

[Zamuel]

Thanks for the answer Jordi. I guess I took the hard way and managed to
separate the Perl data dumber format to a string (ex. class_b='1','2'). Now
I am facing the problem with string that cannot be handled as a array to sum
the numbers etc.  I tried str2num, but it seems not to work.

fd = fopen ("jile.mat",'r');
[xt,cnt] = fscanf(fd,"%s");


start1=findstr(xt, "[["); #starting of the class measurements
end1=findstr(xt, "]]"); #ending of the class measurements
start1;

        for I=1:4
                range(I)=end1(I)-start1(I); #taking the range of each 
measurement classes
        endfor

        
class_b = substr(xt,start1(1)+2,range(1));
class_c = substr(xt,start1(2)+2,range(2));
class_d = substr(xt,start1(3)+2,range(3));
class_a = substr(xt,start1(4)+2,range(4));

test=str2num(class_b) # not working string to number conversion
