How to add consecutive numbers from a column in a .txt file?

I am trying to add consecutive elements in a column and then print the new column. For example the column:

[1 1 8 2 3 1]

Would print:

[2 9 10 5 4]

I already have:

fid = fopen('HW1.txt', 'r');

data = textscan(fid, '%d%f%s%s%s%d%s', 'MultipleDelimsAsOne',true, 'HeaderLines',1);

fclose(fid);

jumps = sum(abs(diff(data{1})>1));

timeD = diff(data{2});

opts = detectImportOptions('HW1.txt');

preview('HW1.txt',opts)

[Var1,Var2,Var3,Var4] = readvars('HW1');

whos Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4

-----------------------------------

Var 4 is a column of 200 numbers that I would like to convert into a column where each number is the added value of the columns adjacent pair.

Just use movsum

a = [1 1 8 2 3 1];
b = movsum(a,2); % I should apologize for not adding 2 
b = b(2:end)

The answer

b =

     2     9    10     5     4

Var4 is a column, it does not matter you use movsum

Thank you!

Var4 is the vector (column) im using:

So my code is:

Cpsum = movsum(Var4);
Cpsum = Cpsum(2:end);

So i tried this but I am getting an error:

"Error using movsum

Not enough input arguments.

Error in Untitled4 (line 2)

Cpsum = movsum(Cp);"

I am sorry for not adding 2 in the input variable of function movsum

a = [1 1 8 2 3 1]';
b = movsum(a,2); % I should apologize for not adding 2 
b = b(2:end)

The result

b =

     2
     9
    10
     5
     4
