spcread (Mapping Toolbox)

Read an ASCII file of space-delimited data columns

Syntax

mat = spcread
mat = spcread(filename)
mat = spcread(cols)
mat = spcread(filename,cols)

Description

mat = spcread reads an ascii file of space delimited data in two columns and returns the data in a matrix mat. The file is selected by dialog box.

mat = spcread(filename) specifies the file from which to read by its name, given as the string filename.

mat = spcread(cols) specifies the number of columns of space delimited data in the file with the integer cols. The default value of cols is 2.

Remarks

The functionality of this command is similar to the standard MATLAB command dlmread. spcread, however, is much faster at reading large data sets of the type common for geographic purposes.
