Using FSCANF to read and extra data into matrix

5 views (last 30 days)
My data has 6 columns and 10 rows of data. Columns 1, 3, and 5 consist of numbers expressed in decimal. Columns 2, 4, & 4 consist of non-numeric texts.
It looks like this:
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 Col5 Col6
01 text 123 text 123 text
02 test 456 text 456 text
etc.
How do I use use a single FSCANF to read the three numerical columns into a 10x3 matrix, extract and display the individual columns?
Thanks in advance.
