how to use read a Huge .txt file row by row and save each row as a vector?

I have a huge .txt file (435483 rows), each row contains 60 measured values (at 60 time points). Now, I want to read this file into 435483 separate arrays and each array contains these 60 measured values. My data looks like this:

row1:1 2 3 4 5;
row2:2 4 6 8 10;
row3:1 3 5 7 9;
...

But instead of having three rows, I have (435483 rows); instead of having 5 measured-values, I have 60.

At the end, I want to acquire 435483 arrays v_1, v_2, ...v_435483. I know that textscan() can do similar thing, but they group elements in each col instead of row.

Thank you very much for whoever can help!

• Are you sure you want "v_1, v_2, ...v_435483" ? I believe a 2D array would serve you better.
• See How can I create variables A1, A2,...,A10 in a loop? Please don't do this!
• and try textscan( ...., 'CollectOutput', true )

Thank you for your comments! yes, that does not sound very smart to acquire each vector individually. I finally give up using textscan and used importdata ("...txt") instead and question is solved. Thank you!

load also works...
