i have attached the file
BTW this worked fine when every matrix row is in just one line but as size of matrix increases every row is being displaued in two or more lines thats when the problem arised
A = readmatrix('output1.txt','Whitespace',' []');
so what changes can i make to above code

A = readmatrix('output1.txt'... % filename
,'LineEnding',{']'}... % defines ']' as the end of each row instead of a carriage return
,'Delimiter',{'[',' ','\r','\n'}... % define the remaining non-numeric characters as delimiters
,'ConsecutiveDelimitersRule','join'... % treat consecutive delimiters as one
,'LeadingDelimitersRule','ignore'... % ignore delimiters that start a line
);

A = readcell('output1.txt');
B = str2num(char(replace(split(string([A{:,1}]),']'),...
{'00', '10', '01', '11', '['},{'0 0', '1 0', '0 1', '1 1', ''})));
