title: textread not working with .txt file in MATLAB
body: <p>In MATLAB: before I try to apply <code>textread</code> to the <em>.txt</em> file,  I have already split up the file from a large text file to smaller text files using a script which is successful in its execution and uses functions <code>fopen</code>, <code>fgetl</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Large Text File -> Small Text File 1, Small Text File 2, Small Text File 3</p>
  
  <p>Output of Small Text File 1:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Run Lat Long Time
  
  2   1    13   3
  
  2   3    3   3  
  
  3   3    5   12
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From the split up text file -- small text file 1 -- which is in column format, I apply <code>textread</code> and returns a mixture of random (scattered) data  from the text file (random sample of data from <em>col2</em> and <em>col3</em>).</p>
  
  <p>In the code: the function is the basic:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[col1 col2] = textread('smallfile.txt', '%d %d');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output Return:</p>
  
  <pre><code>3
  12
  13
  5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Not what is in Col1 = <code>2 2 3</code></p>
  
  <p>I have tried to fix it by checking ANSI encoding and applying <code>rt</code> in my opening function.  But no success.</p>
