Dear Prince,

The Matlab function textscan might be useful for loading ASCII *.dat files (see link below).

Dear Prince,

Try matlab function 'load'. The syntax goes as,

load filename.dat -ascii

load filename.dat (when you are not sure of the data format)

The above function separates out each numerical elements and delimiter is chosen by default (from dat file itself).

Pls refer the following for more detail:

Best Wishes.

Alternatively, you may also use the following commands:

1) textread('filename','format'): textread(filename,format) reads data from the file filename into the variables A, B, C, and so on, using the specified format, until the entire file is read. Specify filename and format inputs as character vectors or string scalars. textread is useful for reading text files with a known format. textread handles both fixed and free format files.

2) dlmread('filename','delimiter'): reads an ASCII-delimited numeric data file into matrix M. The dlmread function detects the delimiter from the file and treats repeated white spaces as a single delimiter.
