Consider –A = [2, 4, 5, 8] –B = [1, 2, 2, 4] Then –C = A./B is [2,2,2.5,2] And –D = 1./A is [.5,.25,.2,.125]

It only works when all lines in the file have the same ASCII format. Files with header material do not qualify, nor do binary files. ASCII files that cannot be input with the load function can be opened and input with MATLAB functions that are similar to C language functions we have been using. The MATLAB functions include fopen, fgets, fscanf, and sscanf.

Engineering H192 - Computer Programming The Ohio State University Gateway Engineering Education Coalition Lect 21P. 13Winter Quarter Inputing Data from Open Files After the file is opened for reading we can input one line at a time as a text string. The command to read one line from the file as a string is: line = fgets (infile_id); If the remainder of the data in the file all has the same format we can read the rest of the file and store it in an array with the command: myarray = fscanf(infile_id,... '%*s%*s%*s%f');

Engineering H192 - Computer Programming The Ohio State University Gateway Engineering Education Coalition Lect 21P. 14Winter Quarter Inputting Data from Open Files Data that has been read in as a string using fgets can be parsed using the function sscanf. The syntax to input a line and then extract and discard three columns from the string and save the fourth column of floating point data in an element in the array myarray would be: line = fgets(infile_id); myarray(k)=sscanf(line,'%*s%*s%*s%f');

Engineering H192 - Computer Programming The Ohio State University Gateway Engineering Education Coalition Lect 21P. 16Winter Quarter Printing Data to Files When a file has been opened for output, the command to output one line to the file as a string is: fprintf(outfile_id,'%s',line); Lines of other data can be output by inserting the appropriate format string and variable names. For example: fprintf(outfile_id,'%f%f\n',a,b);

Engineering H192 - Computer Programming The Ohio State University Gateway Engineering Education Coalition Lect 21P. 17Winter Quarter Printing to the Screen Data can also be printed to the screen with the fprintf function. To do so, we omit the file idenification (outfile_id). For instance, to print a line of text to the screen we could use: fprintf('%s',line) and to print other data we might use: fprintf('%f %f\n', a, b)
