extracting percentages from text

Hi,

I have a .txt data file, like this,

9.26E-02 22% 2.363 ABC

How can I read it into a MATLAB table with four elements?

Use readtable

@Claire Liu did you try it yet? It should have worked - it's what I would have suggested. If not, attach an actual txt file with the paperclip icon.

readtable is a start, but likely you will end up with "22%" as text. At that point, you will probably want to do something like t.Var2 = sscanf(t.Var2,"%d%%")/100.
