I have a file various formatted (3 text lines, a table, 1 text line, a table) and I would like to read it. I succeded in reading the first three lines using fid=fopen('help.txt','r'); intestazione=textscan(fid, '%s',3 ,'Delimiter','\n'); but then I tried to use tblread but I din't succed. How can I do?

If you want us to rely on our mind-reading skills then it will be hard for us to help you. However if you upload the table then we can help you much more easily: click the paperclip button above the text box, then click both Choose file and Attach file buttons.

tableread() can only process an entire file. You need to continue on with the textscan(), either telling it a fixed number of lines to process or giving a format that will fail when it encounters the end of the table, triggering it to stop reading. If the format of the first line after the table is compatible with the format of the first field of the table then you are going to need to read line by line and examine the contents of the line to figure out when to stop.
