Universal scanning of an ASCII file formatted in columns of different types
Syntax
d = uscanf(file, delimiter, format, class_position)
Description
d = uscanf(file, delimiter, format, class_position)
The strings are put into cell arrays : use braces "{}" to access the strings.
(more information, see §13-18 of 'Using Matlab')
USCANF allows undetermined blanks between the delimiters
USCANF uses the bad 'fgets', so it may be slow for large problems
Inputs :
file : ascii filename string
string : classical format string such as fscanf and others.
format : a string with 'n' for a numerical column and 's' for a string column
class_position : integer that indicates the column where are the classes
Ouputs :
d.data : values of the numerical attributes% d.sdata : values of the nominal attributes (cell array)
d.classes : values of the classes for each example
