NEED HELP, I am trying to take data from txt file and save as an array to plot later

Hello, please see the attached picture of my text file. I am trying to make arrays for poition and time. I want to use these arrays to plot them time, position. I need the position and time in two different arrays. That is all I need I am not sure what to do. I have tried multiple ways to get the data but having a hard time.

Under_Damped_Test1_15cm

Is the name of the file. Any help would be apreciated.

If you post your closest result of your multiple ways, maybe there is a minor tweak that will fix the problem.

Please attach the actual text file, not screenshot

It looks like tab delimited text that readtable() could handle.

It might be necessary to detectImportOptions and adjust the datetime import format for the first variable.

Using below command you will data into array in MATLAB:

t = readtable('C:\somewhere\somefile.ext', 'ReadVariableNames', false, 'DatetimeType','text');

that's it. However, you'd then give the column some meaningful names, e.g.:

t.Properties.VariableNames = {'var1', 'var2'};

Then you can modify data accroding to your need.
