Help with textscan

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to read in data from a .txt file using textscan and I'm having some trouble. The file is quite large but I only actually need the 9th column of lines 205 to 304.

I know how to select the 9th column; using * to ignore the first 8, and I've figured out how to use Headerlines to ignore the first 204 lines I don't need, but I can't figure out how to tell textscan to stop after reading down to line 304.

Any help appreciated,

Michael

Use the N parameter, which goes right after the format. It appears you would want 100 for the value in your case.

Cheers, it works now. Not sure how I missed that.
