Problem with dlmread()

I am reading some 1000 .txt files using dlmread function, the problem is some files may have unequal rows and columns. MATLAB is giving an error at that situation. I want to load all the files irrespective of unequal rows and columns, I don't have any problem if it made equal those rows and columns using NAN or Zero values.

That depends on the format of your txt-files.

Here is a simple case

%%R2018a
fid = fopen('rugged.txt');
cac = textscan( fid, '%f%f%f', 'CollectOutput',true, 'Delimiter',',' ...
            ,   'EmptyValue',nan );
fclose(fid);

and

>> cac{:}
ans =
     8     1     6
     3     5   NaN
     4   NaN     2

where rugged.txt contains

8,1,6
3,5, 
4, ,2

Upload a short sample txt-file.
