Double check in case the leading 1 is a lower-case L.

Also note that instead of all those %*f at the end, you can use %*[^\n] which will gobble everything to the end of the line.

Eureka:

The first .txt file was coded in an ANSI format, while the second .txt file was coded in a unicode format.

textscan can apparently only read the ANSI format.

thank you all,

Steven

I read text-files with this code. A few years ago I found that FREAD handles most encodings.
fid = fopen( ipv.FileSpec, 'r', 'n', ipv.Encoding );
buf = fread( fid, inf, '*char' );
sts = fclose( fid );
In a following step I read buf with STRREAD, but TEXTSCAN might be a better alternative.
