Dear all, I have been given a data something like below:
Dat = "2 3 28.3 3.05 8 3 3 22.5 1.55 0 1 1 26.0 2.30 9 3 3 24.8 2.10 0 3 3 26.0 2.60 4 2 3 23.8 2.10 0 3 2 24.7 1.90 0 2 1 23.7 1.95 0 3 3 25.6 2.15 0 3 3 24.3 2.15 0 2 3 25.8 2.65 0 2 3 28.2 3.05 11 4 2 21.0 1.85 0 2 1 26.0 2.30 14 1 1 27.1 2.95 8 2 3 25.2 2.00 1 2 3 29.0 3.00 1 4 3 24.7 2.20 0 2 3 27.4 2.70 5 2 2 23.2 1.95 4" I want to create a matrix out of those data for my further calculations.
