the following sample code can be used to read a text file exported from visual3d into matlab.

this assumes the user exported the headers. the numerical values are stored in numericdata and the headers are stored in headerdata.

exmaple

% ---------------------------------------------------
% read visual3d text file
% ---------------------------------------------------

filename = 'c:\users\documents\support\test.txt';

numericdata = dlmread(filename,'\t',5,1);

[ rows , columns ] = size(numericdata);
headercount = ( columns + 1 )* 5; 

fileid = fopen(filename);
importheaders = textscan(fileid,'%s',headercount,'delimiter','\t');
fclose(fileid);

clearvars filename fileid;

headerdata = cell(5,columns);
start=2; 
for i=1:5
    stop= (start + columns) - 1;
    headerdata(i,:) = transpose(importheaders{1,1}(start:stop));
    start = stop+2;
end

clearvars rows columns start stop i headercount importheaders;
