Combining three text files into one text file

Hi,

I am a new user of MATLAB. I am trying to merge three text files (attached) into one file and add a space between each one of the three files.

I used system and join but I can not generate this file.

Many thanks in advance!

Since I have no idea what you tried, I'm just going to do this in MATLAB.

Note that the first and second file already have trailing empty lines. I'm going to trim those so that there is only one empty line between each chunk of text. This obviously means that this is not a general solution.

A = fileread('1.txt');
B = fileread('2.txt');
C = fileread('3.txt');

fid = fopen('out.txt','w');
fprintf(fid,'%s',[A(1:end-2) B C]);
fclose(fid);

The result is:

nName,nodesC1,nodesC2,nodesC3,nType

n111,0,0,0,structural

n111-y1,0,450,0,structural

n111-y2,0,1500,0,structural

n111-y3,0,2550,0,structural

n121,0,3000,0,structural

n121-x1,600,3000,0,structural

eL,eTy,eSN,eEN,eT

elm.name, grp.name, nod.name(s), mass121, mass1

mass131, mass1, n131, mass141, mass1

mass221, mass2, n221, mass231, mass2

mass241, mass2, n241, mass321, mass1

mass331, mass1, n331, mass341, mass1

col1111, col, n111, n111-y1, nsn1001

nod.name, direction

n111, x+y+z+rx+ry+rz

n111-y1, z+rx+ry

n111-y2, z+rx+ry

n111-y3, z+rx+ry
