Importing data from text file

Hi!

I want to import data from a text file looking like this:

 0    0.498102540633    0.235170603626    490.895642209.....
16    0.496103035619    0.156469393101    495.016403917.....
32    0.497132916139    0.184344917004    504.450161031.....

The problem is the spacing between the columns. It's not one regular tab delimiter, it's two. I can't seem to find a method that cope with this. By using "simple" commands that don't accept multi-charcter delimiters and just typing '\t' will result in a matrix where every second row is NAN.

Anyone who can help me with this?

Cheers

If you are using textscan, you can use the 'MultipleDelimsAsOne',1 option among the name-value pair arguments.

You can use the next fuction, too: A = load('NameFile.txt'); the information will be stored into variable A.
