Can read binary file, but the result put only in a single column

Dear friends,

I read the public data file: poes_n14_19960101.bin from NOAA http://satdat.ngdc.noaa.gov/sem/poes/data/full/1996/noaa14/.

I use the command :

fid = fopen('poes_n14_19960101.bin','r'); A = fread(fid);

the result put in A only in a single column, but actually the structure of the data must more than 30 columns.

Can somebody explain the command to read the binary file in put the result in its original structure (with column header)

Thanks

read it into a 2D array like this:

array2D = fread(fileHandle, [x_size y_size], '*uint8');

You say that x_size = 30.

You will probably need to transpose the array afterwards.
