Problem loading a dat file

From: karunakar reddy pottim on 4 Nov 2009 18:36 I downloaded some data from a website for my research work. The data includes a dat file. When I tried loading the file into my workspace, it shows an error, "Number of columns on line 2 of ASCII file C:\Users\pottem\Desktop\course\Dr.Kuo\biomedical signal processing\data\a01.dat must be the same as previous lines." How can I come over the problem? Thanks Karunakar

(on the File menu, import data, then follow the prompt). > I downloaded some data from a website for my research work. The data includes a dat file.

If it does not work, that means your dat file has a problem. why don't you open it in a regular program, and see if the contents of the file itself makes sense. Another option is to copy and paste into like excel. then open in MATLAB.
