How to read non-rectangular text file?

Hi All,

I'm having trouble on figuring out how to read this file... It's a text file with an odd format (see below), and I wish to have all numerical values in a matrix. I've tried textscan/textread/fscanf etc.. Any suggestions on how to read this? Any help is much much appreciated!!

     1  170.411   17.701  171.50     0.635     0.808 1000.0  1.000  1.00   0 1   3      2 ( 35.7)     17 ( 22.8)     25 ( 19.8) 
     2  331.737    7.687   36.14     3.721     0.780 1000.0  1.000  1.00   0 1   7      1 ( 35.7)      3 ( 19.1)     17 ( 14.9)     19 ( 12.0)     21 ( 12.2)     26 ( 19.9)     28 ( 16.9) 
     3  307.133   16.214   43.80     6.711     0.701 1000.0  1.000  1.00   0 1   6      2 ( 19.1)      4 ( 27.5)     16 ( 28.1)     19 ( 11.7)     21 ( 25.3)     22 ( 20.3) 
     4  103.491   10.151  257.58     9.413     0.022 1000.0  1.000  1.00   0 1   3      3 ( 27.5)     16 ( 18.5)      5 ( 16.4)

Thanks all!

My sloppy form would be to write a while loop which will read each line with fgetl(). It will require some finessing since fgetl classes the line as a string, but you can convert the string values into a set of numbers afterwards and pad a matrix.

I figured it out! Just find and replace the () in notepad... works good enough for me.
