I'm writing an assembler for a simple computer. I want to read assembler code and write it to machine code. But I'm running into problems importing data from the text file.
A sample text file looks like this:
// This file is a test file
@2
D=A; Jump
// Sample comment
@3
D=D+A
Using the lines of code:
txt = textscan(filenum,'%s');
txt = txt{1,1};
Matlab returns a 15 x 1 cell containing this:
'//'
'This'
'file'
'is'
'a'
'test'
'file'
'@2'
'D=A;'
'Jump'
'//'
'Sample'
'comment'
'@3'
'D=D+A'
I would like Matlab to read the file and generate a cell array where each cell is a new line from the original text file.

fid=fopen('file.txt')
str=fgetl(fid);
out=[];
while ischar(str)
out{end+1,1}=str;
str=fgetl(fid);
end
fclose(fid)
out
