I'm new to using sscanf, and I'm trying to find the numbers within sentences that contain a temperature. Where it finds an F it converts the temp to celsius, then puts all the temperatures in a new array. The file is attached below. Thanks!

Could you upload TemperatureRecord.txt to test your code?

Thank you for uploading your data file!
How about the following?
% Read data file
fid = fopen('TemperatureRecord.txt','r');
s = textscan(fid,'%s','Delimiter','\r\n');
s = s{1};
fclose(fid);
% Remove leading and trailing space from each line
s = strip(s);
% Remove final ./!/?, if line ends with one of them
s = regexprep(s,'(\.|\!|\?)$','');
% Index where sentence ends with F/f/Fahrenheit/fahrenheit
idxF = endsWith(s,{'F','f','Fahrenheit','fahrenheit'});
% Extract number only
A = regexp(s,'[0-9\.]+','match');
% Convert to doulbe
A = cellfun(@str2double,A);
% Convert F to C
A(idxF) = (A(idxF) - 32)*(5/9);

This will not work on linux (or on many files written by applications on Windows that do not insert useless carriage returns). Two simple adjustments make this work for all OS and all files:
fid = fopen('TemperatureRecord.txt','rt'); % rt
s = textscan(fid,'%s','Delimiter','\n'); % \n
fclose(fid);
s = s{1};

Hi Stephen-san,
Oh, I have been assuming running it on Windows, only.
Thank you for your useful comment!
