[Eeglablist] issues importing txt

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Andrew,

Try this code.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% go to the folder where you have the file to import
input = dir('HW_*.txt');
input = input.name;

% open the file
FID = fopen(input);

% skip the first lines... by the way I found 19 channels, not 21
firstLine = fgetl(FID);

% parse data structure
tmpData = fscanf(FID, '%f');

% reshape
tmpData = reshape(tmpData, [19 length(tmpData)/19]);

% close the file
fclose(FID);

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The channels I found in the first line are:
FP1-LE FP2-LE F3-LE F4-LE C3-LE C4-LE P3-LE P4-LE O1-LE O2-LE F7-LE F8-LE
T3-LE T4-LE T5-LE T6-LE Fz-LE Cz-LE Pz-LE

Then import 'tmpData' (which is 19*60000 double) to EEGLAB using import
from variable.
