Hello there!

I have an ascii text file containing data of Intensity data matrix and phase data matrix of a surface profile obtained using an interferometer (Zygo interferometer and the software that generated the profile plot was MetroPro).

Now I need to work on this data in matlab.

I have attached the text file that carries the data.

I'm completely a fresher to this software and quite struggling to import this data into matlab and work on it.

Please if somebody can guide me, it will be a lot more helpful for my dissertation.

Note: In the attached text file, initial 15 lines are the header lines. The numeric data from between the first and the second "#" symbol signifies the intensity data matrix an the data from the second "#" symbol to the end of the file represents the Phase data matrix.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Pls let me know for more details!
