How to read numbers from a txt file with numbers and text

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi there,
I have a txt file as the attached one.
I want to read only the numbers, in order to elaborate after the data into a matrix.
I'm trying with this code, but it does not work, cause it does not read the last columns.
path1='.../path1'
fid = fopen(path1);
data = textscan(fid,'%s%f%f%f%f%s%s%f%f','HeaderLines',1,'CollectOutput',1);
data = data{1,1};
fid = fclose(fid);
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

Try readtable():
t = readtable('example.txt')
data = t(:, [1:4,11,12])

Thanks for the suggestion. It works!
After, through the command "table2array(data)" I can jump to matrix.

There is a table2array() function if you want to convert the table to a matrix.
