Dear friends
I got the below results but I dont know how to read the (E-..) parts
7.41E-08 4.20E-06 2.34E-05 2.36E-06 9.54E-06 2.62E-05 8.15E-05 0.000118559
1.53E-06 3.95E-06 2.21E-05 2.71E-06 1.01E-05 2.84E-05 8.69E-05 0.000125772
1.47E-06 4.01E-06 2.24E-05 2.73E-06 1.02E-05 2.86E-05 8.77E-05 0.000127014
1.44E-06 4.06E-06 2.27E-05 2.76E-06 1.03E-05 2.89E-05 8.86E-05 0.000128348
How can I read these numbers without the E-.. parts??
Many thanks

Do you have that data in a text file? What`ve you tried so far?

I was computing the sum of columns of some double arrays and then divide these sums with a number...And Matlab gave these results..

What you got is likely the output of an fprintf call, because MATLAB defaults to a lower-case ‘e’ for exponential notation. You would have to go into the code that you used, and change the format descriptors in that call.
If you are wondering what the E- parts mean, 7.41E-8 translates to 7.41 x 10^-8, or 0.0000000741.

Try
format long
in your code. MATLAB should recognise that these are just the short form of these numbers.
