Hi, I have several files for a different points. The file name is a number like this:
C:\Users\cborba\Documents\Tides\10513.txt
I need get the latitude of each one(line 4 from the header) and read the file without the header (starting from line 12). How can I do this?
Thanks

fid = fopen(C:\Users\cborba\Documents\Tides\10513.txt');
line1 = fgetl(fid);
res=[];
while ischar(line1)
res{end+1,1} =line1
line1 = fgetl(fid);
end
fclose(fid);
latitude=regexpi(res{4},'(?<=LATITUDE).+','match')
data=res(12:end)

One possibility is to use the Import Tool, available on the Home tab of the Toolstrip of the Command Window. This allows you to specify the exact spreadsheet locations you want to import.
