Here are a few lines from one of my files, after sed preprocessing: -70.0000000000000 -70.0000000000000 3.098203380460164E-010 -69.4531250000000 -70.0000000000000 2.548160684589544E-010 -68.9062500000000 -70.0000000000000 2.234061987906998E-010
There are 2 spaces at the start of each line and then the column are separated by spaces as well. I tried readdlm(pumppath, ' ', Float64, '\n') and get file entry "" cannot be converted to Float64 On Friday, July 18, 2014 1:57:00 PM UTC+2, Mauro wrote: > > > Space is an issue, yes, but I agree, I can process them one by one using > > some sed scripting.
