How to read in a Matrix from an .mtx file?

Hello everyone,

I need to read in a matrix from a .mtx file. I know that the command 'readmtx' exists, but I don't know how to define where the matrix is exactly in the document. There are several lines above, which need to be skipped.

Thanks in advance, Michael

You have to find out, what "several" exactly means. Neither Matlab nor the forum can guess this reliably. Perhaps you can post an example?

I agree with Jan Simon. Using the "readmtx" function you can read the entire file (it contains the "several lines" and the matrix you are interested). Once you have the "several" answered, you can find out its size and separate the matrix you are interested from the entire data.
