Title
Body
I am trying to read a text file containing digits and strings using Octave. The file format is something like this: A B C a 10 100 b 20 200 c 30 300 d 40 400 e 50 500 but the delimiter can be space, tab, comma or semicolon. The textread function works fine if the delimiter is space/tab: [A,B,C] = textread ('test.dat','%s %d %d','headerlines',1) However it does not work if delimiter is comma/semicolon. I tried to use dklmread: dlmread ('test.dat',';',1,0) but it does not work because the first column is a string. Basically, with textread I can't specify the delimiter and with dlmread I can't specify the format of the first column. Not with the versions of these functions in Octave, at least. Has anybody ever had this problem before?
