Import block formatted tabular data from a text file into a table or a cell array.
Import Numeric Data from Text Files into Matrix
In addition to importing numeric tabular data from a text file as a table using readtable, you can also import this data as a matrix into the MATLAB workspace.
Import Block of Numeric Data from Text File
Read arbitrary block-formatted numeric data from a text file into cell arrays.
