Dear sir, I have 25 text files of detail about wave parameters. How could i write the command to extract data from my selection file?

cd('D:\coding\datawave');

fid=fopen('file_21.txt');

data=textscan(fid,'%s %s %s %f %f');

height=cell2mat(data(4));

if all the data are numbers you can use importdata. Also go through fscanf, textread, load etc.

Do as sugested by previous answer, import, fscanf, textread, load... if it doesn't have any structer. If it does i suggest to use excel and xlsread. It can save you a lot of time.

dear sir, thanks for your respond. what I try is to call the text file window to be display without no need to manually change text file name. I meant current directory of my file will display, then just clicking which one to be exist one my current folder.
