Any idea to get values from this file type

Any idea to get values from this file type

Any idea to get values from this file type

(OP)
Hi
 
If anyone know please help me out in solving this problem. I have a
file which is having around 140 columns in it. I need to read a few
columns from it and i must draw some graohs or do some operatioons on
the columns. The file format is not defined in Matlab. So i thought
of using sscanf('Line','%s %s %f %f ....'). But is it wise to specify
140 columns like this and get the data. I am a beginner in Matlab. So
i donno wether there are anyother methods to read such type of data.
So please help me out. I am giving a sample line of data. its only
one row in the file. I am also having headers for this line as column
names.

RE: Any idea to get values from this file type

Maybe you try the import wizzard.
From file menu choose "import data..." and
then select the file and column separator (in your case space) and follow the further steps.

Cheers
