  TABLE NUMBER 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Till now I was splitting this data and reading the variables <code>(time and name_i)</code> from each file in following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[TIME(:,j), name_i(:,j)]=textread('filename','%f\t%f','headerlines',5);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now I am producing the data of those files into 1 file as shown in beginning. For example I want to read and store TIME data in vectors TIME1, TIME2, TIME3, TIME4, TIME5 for name_3, name_6, _9 respectively, and similarly for others.</p>
