Basically I am looking for something that does the opposite of the @printf macro...i.e., it reads in lines from a text file that has a specific format specifier. readdlm does not seem to do what I want (or maybe I'm not using it properly). As a specific example, say I have a file that is in a "bedgraph" format (.bed) that would look something like this: chr1 1 4 1.5 chr1 6 10 2.7 chr2 70 230 6.4 I would like to specify that the file is formatted as "chr%u %u %u %f" and to receive four vectors (3 Ints and 1 Float): [1,1,2] [1,6,70] [4,10,230] [1.5,2.7,6.4] Does anyone know of a function that has this feature? If not, is there an easy way to do this with existing functions/macros? Thanks! Garrett P.S. Sorry if this is a duplicate, my previous post didn't seem to go through.
