import data from .tsv in matlab

To import data from a .tsv file in Matlab, you can use the readtable function. readtable allows you to read data from a variety of file formats, including .txt, .csv, and .tsv.

To import a .tsv file, you can use the following syntax:

main.m
data = readtable('filename.tsv','Delimiter','\t');
51 chars
2 lines

Here, filename.tsv is the name of your .tsv file, and '\t' specifies that the file is tab-separated. The resulting data variable will be a table containing the imported data.

Alternatively, you can also use the importdata function to import the data from a .tsv file:

main.m
data = importdata('filename.tsv');
35 chars
2 lines

This will create an array in which each row of the .tsv file corresponds to a row in the array. However, this method does not preserve any column headers or data types, so readtable is generally preferred for importing structured data.
