Hi,

I'm fairly new to Matlab and have v4.0.  A typical data file for me contains
some strings for documentation/plot labeling, and some data.  I've tried
the [A,count] = fscanf(fid,'format',size)  routine for reading strings, 
but it leaves something to be desired.  With no size argument, 
it tries to read to the end of file.  If a size argument is used
then that is the number of whitespace seperated groups of characters are 
read (ie. words).  Isn't there a way to read a newline terminated string?
Am I missing something?  Is there a better way to read strings?

If anyone has any helpful hints I would be much obliged.  If there is
interest I will post a summary.  Thanks, -jim
