I am trying to read a text file in MATLAB which has a format like the following. I am looking to read the whole line as a string. <pre class="prettyprint"><code> 2402:0.099061 2404:0.136546 2406:0.447161 2407:0.126333 2408:0.213803 2411:0.068189 </code></pre> I tried couple of things. <code>textscan(fid, '%s')</code> reads the line but splits the line into cells at spaces. <code>fscanf(fid, '%s')</code> reads the line as a string but removes all the spaces.

<code>fgetl(fid)</code> will do what you're looking for. Newline is stripped off.

 2402:0.099061 2404:0.136546 2406:0.447161 2407:0.126333 2408:0.213803 2411:0.068189

I tried couple of things.

textscan(fid, '%s') reads the line but splits the line into cells at spaces.

fscanf(fid, '%s') reads the line as a string but removes all the spaces.
