h5read incorrectly reading exponents

Hello,

My apologies if this is the wrong forum.

I'm trying to open a dataset in an '.nwb' file using the h5read function. The dataset of the file reads '1.3675214E7'; however, h5read returns '13675214'. the odd thing about this is that another dataset reads '1.0004034E-12' and h5read returns '1.0004034e-12'. Any idea on how to resolve this?

Thank you in advance! Eric

Resolve what, precisely?

>> 1.3675214E7
ans =
  13675214
>> whos ans
Name      Size            Bytes  Class     Attributes

ans       1x1                 8  double              
>>

The result is an integer-valued double and by default is displayed that way in ML command window. If you want a specific output format, say so--

>> fprintf('%.7e\n', 1.3675214E7)
1.3675214e+07
