Depends on what you want/need to do with it once you've read it...

As a cell array of strings, one cell/line

file = textread('filename.txt','%s','delimiter','\n','whitespace','');

As a cell array, one cell of size number of space-delimited words...

fid=fopen('filename.txt','r');
file=textscan(fid,'%s','collectoutput',true);

As a character image array...

fid=fopen('filename.txt','r');
file=fread(fid,[],'*char');
