Correct syntax for textscan() function

Hello there,

Would anybody know the correct syntax to import a column of time values from a text file using the textscan() function. The format of the time values is like this:

12:57:00 
15:19:00 
08:07:00 
10:36:00

Many thanks

Hi,

try %s as format string

out = textscan(fid,'%s')

(fid is the filepointer created by fopen)

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I'm sorry but I'm only new to Matlab. If I have the the times values saved in a text file called time.txt and it is in the current folder, how would I load it?

Apologies if this a very simple question.

No Problem. Thats what this platform is for :)

fid = fopen('time.txt','r')

out = textscan(fid,'%s')

fclose(fid)

out{1}

Thanks very much

Hello,

One more question, if you don't mind?

How would I convert the array of values to a vector to I could import the data into the dfitool.

Thanks again
