fread - each character in new line

Hi,

I'm trying to read some information from the header of a wave file (fullname is the file with absolute path) using

fid = fopen(fullname);
fseek(fid,364,'bof');
string=fread(fid,24,'char');

However, each character will be on a new line in the string. I don't know if this is like this in the header or a result of fread. How do it get all the characters to be in one line? I tried to google, but didn't really know what to look for and didn't find anything.

Any help very appreciated. Thanks!

When you specify a scalar size for fread() the default is to create an N x 1 vector. You should use

string = fread(fid, [1, 24], 'char');

Thanks! That makes sense :)
