From: Matthieu Le Gall on
Good afternoon,
I am wondering what's the best function to use to read tecplot files on Matlab.
Those tecplot files are ASCII files containing several values of physical quantities at many nodes AND connectivities between those thousands of nodes.

I was thinking about using the load function but I would then lose the information about the connectivity between the nodes.

Any idea?
Thank you in advance.

unfortunately...

% 1) the easy step
help textread; % <- slurp your file's content...
% 2) the tedious step
% now, you have to write your own parser to dissect the content...
