Error is generated while using uigetfile while loading text files manually

I have to manually select the files which have to be loaded. Each text file is loaded seperately into different cells "Amplitude"and "phase" cell array by using loop.

The text files contains both text and numerical values. Sample text file is uploaded with this question

The data of half of the files are loaded into "Amplitude" cell array and other half into "phase" cell array.

I have followed this code given below: I am getting errors like

Error using load

Number of columns on line 2 of ASCII file

Error in Current_Impedance_9 (line 8)

file = load(fullfile(PathName,FileName{i}));

How to resolve this problem

Your input file contains header lines which load cannot deal with.

It's not at all clear why you've got that line in there as you then go on to use textscan that knows how to handle formatted text files.

You're doing way more there in the use of options than the file requires, however...something like

fmt=repmat('%f',1,4);
hdrLines=7;
for i = 1:length(FileName) 
  fid=fopen(fullfile(PathName,FileName{i})),'r');
  dataArray=cell2mat(textscan(fid,fmt,'headerlines',hdrLines));
  fid=fclose(fid);
end

should load your data array into a double array of Nx4

I'd suggest you might want to look into using the ML table object however, and readtable.

Thanks a lot. This worked perfectly
