Making a textfile into a list in matlab?
- by Ben Fossen
I have a textfile and would like to import it onto Matlab and make it a list
Person1
name = steven
grade = 11
age= 17
Person2
name = mike
grade = 9
age= 15
Person3
name = taylor
grade = 11
age= 17
There are a few hundred entries like these above. Each are seperated by a blank line I was thinking I could scan the text and make the information between each blank line into an item in the list. I also would like to be able to look up each person by name once I have a list like the one below.
I want something like
x = [Person1 Person2 Person3
name = steven name = mike name = taylor
grade = 11 grade = 9 grade = 11
age = 17 age = 15 age = 17]
This seems very straight forward but I have been having trouble with this so far, I may be overlooking something. anyone have any ideas or advice?
