Hi Majid,
I just read your post and perhaps you may give me a few guidelines. I actually have an .asc file but I cannot accede it in matlab. I have tried the functions: 'importdata', 'fopen' to define a Fid and then 'textscan'. However, I am not acceding correctly the data as I am only getting the number of rows. Could you tell me which function were you using? Thank you in advance. Teresa
