Problem with importdata while retrieving string from txt file.

%My txt file is trial.txt;

p100 4163603.622 441621.461 1149.353

p101 4163595.878 441621.927 1151.896

p102 4163598.903 441621.752 1150.876

[FileName1,PathName] = uigetfile('*.txt','Select the txt file')

[num,txt1,raw] = importdata(FileName1)

%In this case I need to retrieve num, txt1 and raw but it gives failure because of strings value.

%How can I retrieve and seperate num, txt1 and raw data from trial.txt?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

what is the difference between num and raw data?

[sermet]

num is double, raw is cell

Answer 1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

v=importdata(FileName1)
num=v.data  % Your numeric data
text1=v.textdata
