How to put text into an array

Hi all,
I have a big text right now and I wish to put every line as an array... could someone help?
201403 0.000 8.333 0.00 0.00
So this is one of the lines of my text, and I wish to sort it as an array like
2014 03 0.000 8.333 0.00 0.00
Can anybody help please?
Thanks!

I don't understand your question. What do the other lines look like and what should happen to them?

Hint:
>> str = '201403 0.000 8.333 0.00 0.00';
>> cac = textscan( str, '%4f%2f%f%f%f%f', 'CollectOutput', true )
cac =
[1x6 double]
>> cac{:}
ans =
1.0e+03 *
2.0140 0.0030 0 0.0083 0 0

Thanks, but I have it as a text file, and I would have to need it as an m file that could do it for every line...

Did you read the on-line help on &nbsp textscan? &nbsp It should be obvious how to use &nbsp textscan &nbsp with a file. I assumed that the format-specifier was the tricky part.
See my comment to your question.
I'm trying to make a loop statement for this one. All the other lines are on these formats as well.
I don't understand the second sentence. What do you mean by "on these formats"? Just call fopen(), have your loop with textscan() inside, then call fclose(). What's the problem you are having? Are we supposed to know what your code is? If so, you'll have to post it.
