Issue with load from text file with hex data

Create a text file with 0xd080 in the text file

use the command load('textfilename')

The value returned is 57472 however the actual value should have been 53376

Even if i use load('textfilename','-ascii') also does not solve the problem. Still invalid data is returned.

How to fix this problem?

my 2 cents suggestion

>> a = readlines('textfilename.txt')

a = 

    "0xd080 "

>> b = hex2dec(char(a))

b =

       53376
