How to read data from a file

 I have difficulty reading data from a file into an array 
 (or arrays). The file looks like the following (3 rows, 6 
 columns):
1,0,0.99539,-0.05889,0.85243,g
1,0,1,-0.18829,0.93035,d
1,0,1,-0.03365,1,g    

Thanks,  Min

This will read it into a cell array (assuming your file name is mixedData.m):

fid = fopen('mixedData.m');
C = textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f %f %s','Delimiter',',')
fclose(fid)

C{1}
ans = 

    'g'
    'd'
    'g  '

Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
