I am trying to import data from a .txt file with the same structure as below
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/344913/image.jpeg)
with the code below, I am looking for a .txt file and I try to save each column in a matlab file but matlab tells me 'Unable to open file'
[filename,pathname]=uigetfile({'*.fl.txt' 'Torque file (*.fl.txt)'},'Select a torque curve');
if filename ~= 0
Spill = importdata(filename);
extracted=Spill.data
CDC_N=extracted(:,1)
CDC_Torque=extracted(:,2)
save('CDC.mat','CDC_N','CDC_Torque');
end
if anyone could help me, I'd be grateful.
thanks

Replacing
Spill = importdata(filename);
with
Spill = importdata( fullfile( pathname, filename );
may help.
