Reading Text file in matlab

I believe I am missing something. I am trying to read in a large text file using fscanf.

Here is the code

fileName = 'TestData.tst'
format = '%d%*s%f%f%f%f%%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f%f'
size = [19,Inf]

B = ReadTestData(fileName, format, size)
B = B'

function A = ReadTestData (fileName, format, size)
%fileName = 'TestData.tst'
fileID = fopen(fileName, 'r')
A= fscanf(fileID, format, size)
end

}
The function is in a different file than the main code.

Here is my input file
75  data  2.5  3.1 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
4  data  5.5  6.1 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
10 data 11 12 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
13 data 14 15 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

It's a simplified version of some aircraft data I have recorded. When I execute the code I only get a 6 by 1 matrix containing only part of the first line in the data file. I've tried this on shorter lines, 4 items long, and it works. What am I missing?

Don't even use ReadTestData(). Try this in your main program:

fullFileName = fullfile(pwd, 'TestData.tst')
t = readtable(fullFileName)

I would use the textscan (link) function to read them.
