How to open a mat file in matlab.
Areej nayab on 25 sep 2018 hi i m trying to open a mat file in matlab but am unble to do it.
A mat file is a compressed binary file.
It s possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application.
Read mat files in python.
It s possible that a different program created it and stored the information in a plain text file.
Otherwise you will have to convert it into a text file csv for example with a script.
If filename is a mat file then load filename loads variables in the mat file into the matlab workspace.
Otherwise open returns an empty array.
If filename is an ascii file then load filename creates a double precision array containing data from the file.
A open name returns a structure if name is a mat file or it returns a figure handle if name is a figure.
This could be done by python for example.
Use a free text editor to open the mat file if none of the above programs are working for you.
It is not possible to open it with a text editor except you have a special plugin as dennis jaheruddin says.

For increased flexibility and options use the load function to open mat files and the openfig function to open figures.
Load filename loads data from filename.
