Textscan question

Hi

I'm using textscan to read text from instrument. text file looks like this :

-000.26

0000.00

-001.26

0000.00

-011.26

0000.00

-222.26

0000.00...etc.

The output of the device is in kg(kilograms). I want to read data as g(grams) without the minus and every other line(skip lines with zeroes).

Example :

-000.26 = 260

-001.26 = 1260

-011.26 = 11260

-111.26 = 111260

I used '%f32', but it reads as 0.2600(still in kg).

Thanks!

Use a %f format, take the absolute value, multiply by 1000, and round().

Thanks a bunch!

Now there is a problem. I used B = abs(cell2mat(A))*1000 and I take B and write it to another text file but it just pastes everything together. I used cell2mat because abs(A) wouldn't work.

260|0|1260|0|11260|0|2222600 (I separated it)

I want to get the same format. Every value a new row.

260

0

1260

0

...etc.

Solved it.

I forgot 'fid' in my fprintf!

Thank you Walter, once again you saved the day! Fingers crossed they make a movie 'bout you! :)
