simple readtable() call throws error

Trying to run a one line script containing:

data = readtable("data.txt");

Where "data.txt" is in the same directory and contains:

0, 1
100, 2
200, 3
300, 4
400, 5

And I get the error:

Error using readtable
Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent.

Error in readtabletest (line 1)
data = readtable("data.txt");

What arrays are being concatenated??

I have tried changing the delimeter to spaces too

Works fine for me here -

data = readtable("data.txt")

data = 5×2 table
    Var1    Var2
    ____    ____

      0      1  
    100      2  
    200      3  
    300      4  
    400      5  

Can you upload your "data.txt" file so we can reproduce the error?

here it is

However, I have the error no matter what file I use

[Hiro Yoshino]

It worked fine with me too.

What MATLAB version do you use?

See Release in the right margin of this page.

[Cris LaPierre]

Pleaes share the result of the following code

which readtable -all

[Brandyn Butchard]

which readtable -all

outputs:

E:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\toolbox\matlab\iofun\readtable.m

1st of all, verify and make sure that if you're calling the correct file. You may have two different files with the same name but different contents in two different directories

Here are four different ways to read data from data.txt:

D1 = readtable('data.txt')

D1 = 5×2 table
    Var1    Var2
    ____    ____

      0      1  
    100      2  
    200      3  
    300      4  
    400      5  

D2 = readmatrix('data.txt')

D2 = 5×2

0 1 100 2 200 3 300 4 400 5

D3 = importdata('data.txt')

D3 = 5×2

0 1 100 2 200 3 300 4 400 5

D4 = dlmread('data.txt')        % Not recommended

D4 = 5×2

0 1 100 2 200 3 300 4 400 5
