Hi,

Can you try to use the default setting of FSCANF function?

Like A=fscanf(fid,'%g');

No that also gives error...How to read data from a file when the data in the notepad are 1*20000 double format?

[Sachin Ganjare]

A = fscanf(fid, '%g', [2 inf]);

This is wrong.For this to work your data should have been in below format:

Columns 1 through 20000

   160     7   121   126    83   106    41     6   183   132    68   105    42    62   194   214   122    73   194   187........100(20000th element)

Yup I think so....what to do now which command should I use...the problem is creating "Columns 1 through 20" and so on...any suggestion?
