Import multiple .txt files

Hi,

I have some text files that I want to import all at once. I am using the following code to try to import them.

files = dir(fullfile(roothpath, '*.txt'));

file_paths = fullfile({files.folder}, {files.name});

for i = 1 : numel(file_paths)

data = textread(file_paths{i}, '');

end

However, the text files have headers and I am having trouble removing them. So my question is what can I do to import them with commands to remove the header and import all the files.

Thanks.

Use "headerlines" parameter to ignore the header lines:

data = textread(file_paths{i}, format, 'headerlines', headlineNum);

Hi Chunru,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the command line and its saying "too many output arguments". I am using Matlab 2018a if that matters at all.

Post a small fraction of data file.
