Saving my .txt file as a .mat file to use it as data for my script.

I'm having trouble with saving my .txt file into a .mat file. Can someone help??

The file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CjIEjw6nlH1DSwjgQ2fSmETcI1NksWvA/view?usp=sharing

This is what I got so far:

Script:

DataEnschede= dlmread('etmgeg_290.txt');

save('etmgeg_290.txt', 'DataEnschede');

error:

Mismatch between file and format character vector.

'dlmread' expects numeric data. Try using 'textscan' or 'readtable' instead.

[Walter Roberson]

In R2020a, readtable() does a good job reading the contents (provided you do not want any of the header information.)

Try these two options

DataEnschede = readmatrix('etmgeg_290.txt', 'NumHeaderLines', 49);
save('etmgeg_290.mat', 'DataEnschede');

or

DataEnschede = readtable('etmgeg_290.txt', 'NumHeaderLines', 47);
save('etmgeg_290.mat', 'DataEnschede');
