Delete rows in single .txt files

Hey,

I have 30 .txt files where I would like to delete always the first three rows before creating one file for all 30 files...?

Thanks already!

Best!

See the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_process_a_sequence_of_files.3F

Before the loop open a file for output.

fOutput = fopen('output.txt, 'wt');

Then go into the loop opening the files (as per the FAQ). Call fgetl() three times and throw away/ignore the text you get back. Then continue on to the end of the file transferring the stuff to the output file

textLine = fgetl(fInput);
fprintf(fOutput, '%s\n', textLine);

Finally when all lines have been transferred, call fclose(fInput). Then when the loop is done, call fcope(fOputput). It's really easy - give it a try.

Sounds a little like homework, so I didn't just do the whole thing for you, even though it's trivial.
