Hi. How can i open a file .dat in matlab to make graphs and operations between arrays?

See if you can open the dat file with a text editor such as notepad. if you can you can use textread and textscan to xtract the info. If so let me know the format and i'll write down the script.

fid = fopen('YourFile.dat', 'r');

That opens the .dat file. Reading the data in it is a different question. There is no fixed format for .dat files: .dat files are any format convenient to the program that generated them. You need to know how your .dat file was generated in order to have a hope of extracting data from it.
