Hello, I have a binary file that holds a content of float array that wa written in c#. I want to read it into matlab to view that float array. I think I need to use the next command but it seems to fail:
myfloat=fread(fID,1,'float');

Hi Alon,
As a C# programmer you know that "it fails" is not enough!
BTW, sometime when I want to generate a file specially on drive C, I have to open MATLAB as an administrator! You may wanna to this as well.

Dear Alon,
Just answer James questions.
When you open the file using fopen, do you get a valid File ID?
A valid file ID is an integer.
fileID = fopen('myfile.xyz')
Most importantly, pleaseee post the error message

Did you open the file first to obtain a valid fID? Are you getting an error message? (If so, please post the entire message). Are you getting garbage for myfloat? (Indicating possible endian problem, or maybe header data not accounted for, or data is not really float, etc.)
