Different File locations: multiple delimiters in text files.

I have a text files in different folders that are formatted as follows:

[ [num , num], [ num, num].... ]

First, I tried to pull in fullfiles into a structure array, then grab the names, and use the names and paths to read in the files into a cell array.

The brackets are confusing my current code:

temp = dlmread(fullfile(folderPath{k},tempN{i}),',')

How can I call files from different locations, to then open and use with textscan? Another way?

I tried: ( Doesn't work) The issue is calling the file properly I think:

   file = fopen(fullfile(folderPath{k},fileNames{i}),'r');
        temp = textscan(file,'%d''MultipleDelimsAsOne',1,'Delimiter',{',''['']'})
        fclose(file);

temp is empty.... wrong formatspec, not reading file in properly?

You can use textscan instead of dlmread and specify any delimiter(s) you wish.

Issue is calling the file properly- I can't just use:

textscan(filename..)

Because the files are in different directories than the matlab code. I attempted to use fopen(fullpathandName) - but that is improper.
