- What does "introduced two addional lines" mean?
- Why are the data padded by dlmread to make the columns the smae length?! You've said, that there is a different number of columns, but do the columns have a different length in addition?!
How to load txt file with a known number of rows with different lengths of columns??

Hey all,
I tried loading my txt file that has different number of columns usnig different commands and down i will state each one with its problem:
1] load: doesn't work for different number of columns.
2] importdata: introduced in my txt two additional lines!!
3] dlmread: padded my data with zeros to make all columns the same length!
Can anyone suggest another command!! dlmread seems the best out of theses three commands I tried, but my data is very sensitive specially to zeros!!even if I tried to eliminate them, there is no way I can know whether this zero is one of my data or the padded one!!

Please show a minimal example of a possible file, and explain the wanted output format. DLMREAD creates a matrix, and matrices must be rectangular. Therefore the padding is expected and wanted.
