Importdata does not load last NaN of array

Hello to all. I am trying to read multiple files with importdata. The all have the same delimiter (,), but not the same format on their elements. The problem is that when a file’s last element is NaN, matlab does not load it, and as a result it loads the data with one less element. That is a problem because the matrix dimensions of all files should be the same, for my script to continue. Is there any way to “force” importdata to read until the last element?

I give you an example of two different files that I have to read

File #1 (everything ok here!)

0.26722,0.89362,0.0090539,0.98804,2.512,0.082354,0.10638

File #2 (importdata reads just 0,NaN,0,0.99598,0,0)

0,NaN,0,0.99598,0,0,NaN

Thanx in advance

What about using textscan with a specific format instead of the general purpose importdata?

[Athanasios Karagiannidis]

The files have different formats on the elements. For example element(1,1) for one file is 0.26722 while for another file is 0. I am trying with load and it seems to be working correctly.

the matrix dimensions of all files should be the same you can add NaN at the end..if the dimension is less. Alrenatively you can explore textscan

@Athanasios Karagiannidis: "0.26722" or "0" are both numbers, so this is not an example of different formats. '%f' works in both cases.
