Importing Data outputted by FreeFem++

Hi, I am trying to import some data from an FEA code I am currently learning to use. The data itself represents scalar u components of velocity and is outputted along 5 columns and then a new row is formed and it continues to write.

e.g

n1 , n2, n3, n4, n5

n6 , n7, n8, n9, n10 ......

I want to import the data into 1 column with the data in order.

n1

n2

n3

n4

n5

n6

..

Can anyone point me to the correct function and/or method that I need to use to do this.

Many Thanks Chris

u = [1 2 3 4 5;
    6 7 8 9 10;
    11 12 13 14 15];
reshape(permute(u,[2 1]), [], 1)

or more compact:

u = u.';
u = u(:);
