read Scilab Group Scilab Function read
NAME
read - matrices read
CALLING SEQUENCE
[x]=read(file-desc,m,n,[format])
[x]=read(file-desc,m,n,k,format)
PARAMETERS
file-desc : character string specifying the file name or integer value
specifying logical unit (see file).
m, n : integers (dimensions of the matrix x). Set m=-1 if you do
not know the numbers of rows, so the whole file is read.
format : character string, specifies a "Fortran" format. This
character string must begin with a right parenthesis and end with a left
parenthesis. Formats cannot mix floating point or character
edition modes.
k : integer or vector of integer
DESCRIPTION
reads row after row the mxn matrix x (n=1 for character chain) in the
file file-desc (string or integer). Each row of the matrix x begin in a
new line of file-desc file. Depending on format, a given row of the x
matrix may be read from more than one line of file-desc file.
The type of the result will depend on the specified format. If format
contains only (d,e,f,g) descriptors the function tries to read numerical
data (the result is matrix of real numbers).
If format contains only a descriptors the function tries to read
character strings (the result is a character string column vector). In
this case n must be equal to 1.
Examples for format:
(1x,e10.3,5x,3(f3.0))
(10x,a20)
When format is omitted datas are read using numerical free format:
blank, comma and slash may be used as data separators, n*v may be use to
represent n occurrences of value n.
A direct access file can be used if using the parameter k which is is
the vector of record numbers to be read (one record per row), thus m must
be m=prod(size(k)).
To read on the keyboard use read(%io(1),...).
REMARK
Last line of data files must be terminated by a newline to be taken into
account.
EXAMPLE
if MSDOS then unix('del foo');
else unix('rm -f foo'); end
A=rand(3,5); write('foo',A);
B=read('foo',3,5)
B=read('foo',-1,5)
read(%io(1),1,1,'(a)') // waits for user's input
