The load Function
The load
function reads binary files containing matrices generated by earlier MATLAB sessions, or reads text files containing numeric data. The text file should be organized as a rectangular table of numbers, separated by blanks, with one row per line, and an equal number of elements in each row. For example, outside of MATLAB, create a text file containing these four lines:
Store the file under the name magik.dat
. Then the statement
reads the file and creates a variable, magik
, containing our example matrix.
An easy way to read data into MATLAB in many text or binary formats is to use Import Wizard.
