Question

I have a data file that's in a binary double data format as far as I can tell goes like this:

[column1value1][column2value1][column1value2][column2value2]...etc

I have been able to look at the fread documentation and figure out how to extract column1's data by using skip. A double is 8 bytes long and I therefore assigned a skip value of 8. Here is my code:

fID = fopen('141518-10000-2.bin');
skip = 8;
A= fread(fID,'double',skip);
fclose(fID);

This returns me column 1 of the data into A. How do I offset this by one data point now to get column 2's data? Any help is much appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

To do the second column the same way, you can use fseek to go to the first value in column 2 and then continue with fread the same way you are doing:

fseek(fID,8,'bof');
