You are attempting to load a file that does not have an extension. In such a case, matlab guesses that the file is an ascii file.

You need to add the -mat option to the load() call.

Thank you for your suggesion Walter but it is a char file when i read the properties of that particular file when i add the extension .mat after load("saved_filename.mat) like this then it gives no such file name exists type error.

When you open in notepad it says MAT5.0 . That is the key string used by binary mat files. You do not have a text file.

I did not say to add a .mat extension, I said to add the -mat option. As in

load(filename, '-mat')
