I have a text file that contains titles of the research papers and I have to make dictionary from it so I need to read that file and make dictionary of it. If anyone have some idea then please answer me the question. Thanks

Hi shabnam jan, There is this command in MATLAB where you can read from a text file. It is like this: text = fileread(filename)
Other command that might be useful for text files are as follows:
textread
csvread
textscan
Refer to MATLAB documentation to see the details on these commands :)

The format of the file is important. The following code assumes each line is a title.
fileid = fopen(filename);
ind = 0;
while(1)
ind = ind+1;
titles{ind} = fgetl(fileid);
if ~ischar(tline), break, end
end
fclose(fileid);
The cellarray 'titles' now contains all the titles. Hope that helps.

titles = regexp( fileread(YourFileName), '\n', 'split');
