My code can not read a text from text file.

Hi guys

I am asking the matlab to display a text inside a word file and I am using this code but matlab shows the word like this: |]<„g®¾Q;a0طî$¶UڑMکًأKٹS°؛

What is the problem?

 fileID = fopen (filename,"rt");
            if fileID < 0
                error('error opning file %s/n/n',filename)
            end
            tline = fgets(fileID);
            while ischar (tline)
                fprintf('%s %c',tline)
                tline = fgets(fileID);
            end
            fprintf('/n');
            fclose(fileID);

@Abdullah Alsuhaymi: your code imports data from a data file. Please upload a sample data file.

"I am asking the matlab to display a text inside a word file "

What exactly do you mean by a "word file" : are you working with text files (which are not "word files" by any common definition of the term) or are you use Microsoft Office proprietary format such as Open Office XML .docx ? Using correct terminology makes it easier for people to understand what you are asking about and what you are trying to do.

yeah ,the file I am using is .docx

I am trying to make matlab display all the text inside a text file which format is .docx

I couldnot upload the file because the format .docx is not supported here.

thank you

ML doesn't have builtin Word file reader -- either save the file as plain text from Word or you'll have to use COM to drive Word and that then becomes a Word forum question as to what is the syntax for it, not Matlab at all.
