Hi,
I have some data that I am reading from a text file, and some of the data is PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogram and some is PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogramBreakpoints. Now when my code is filtering through the text, it associates the PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogramBreakpoints with PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogram, how can I limit that text that is chooses to JUST PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogram and not the Breakpoints?
clear all;
close all

projectdir = 'C:\Users\it58528\Documents\Power Cylinder Temp and Rainflow Cycle Counter - After 16500 Cycles - 2015-10-12.prm';
fid = fopen(projectdir);
rows = textscan( fid, '%s', 'Delimiter', '\n' );
fclose( fid );
rows = rows{:};
str = 'RainflowCycleCounterHistogram'; % avoid magic number
len = length( str );
is_counter = strncmp( str, rows, len );
counter_rows = rows( is_counter );
%
str = 'RainflowCycleMeanBreakpoints';
len = length( str );
is_mean = strncmp( str, rows, len );
mean_rows = rows( is_mean );
%
str = 'RainflowCycleRangeBreakpoints';
len = length( str );
is_range = strncmp( str, rows, len );
range_rows = rows( is_range );
%
str = 'PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogram';
len = length (str);
is_temp = strncmp ( str, rows, len );
temp_rows = rows ( is_temp);
%
str = 'PowerCylinderTemperatureHistogramBreakpoints';
len = length (str);
is_break = strncmp ( str, rows, len );
break_rows = rows ( is_break);
counter_matrix = nan( 10, 10 );

cac = textscan( counter_rows{jj}, '%*s%d%d%f' ...

Test for the existence of the complete string and exclude...set those lines in the initial array =[] before processing the rest.

I think I have it figured out, thanks.
