Read numbers from text file with different row sizes into array

I have a text file called mesh.txt which contains integers in a format like this:

33

18 48

34 37

49 27

66 32

78 27

92 34

111 51

30 62

49 69

83 69

100 61

14 6

2 46

18 82

41 83

94 83

122 81

126 50

118 7

34 8

67 7

100 8

66 84

37 49

50 47

65 48

79 48

93 49

37 49

50 47

65 48

79 48

93 49

42

12 13 1

12 1 2

20 12 2

20 2 3

21 20 3

3 4 21

4 5 21

22 21 5

6 22 5

That being said, some rows have different size than the others. I looked up some similar questions but it seems most of them have neat text files in which the row size is always the same. How do I read integers from each row and store them all in the same array? In other words, I want the output to be double array that looks like:

[[33],

[18,48],

[34,37],

...

[42],

[12,13,1],

...

[6,22,5]]

It'd be great if they are all stored in an array/cell array. But storing data in different cells depending on size is acceptable as well since they actually have different meaning. Thanks!

fid = fopen('myfile.txt','r') ;

S = textscan(fid,'%s','delimiter','\n') ;

fclose(fid) ;

S = S{1} ;

This method concatenates numbers in the same row into one big number. For example the second row now becomes 1848 rather than [18,48]

Hi @Chak Chan, Did you get the answer for this problem, I am facing the same issue, rows from the file are getting stored as a string like '18,48' rather than [18,48]. when I apply union on this cell array it always gives values between 0-9 as it contatenates numbers in the same row. Thanks
