TABLE NUMBER 3
Till now I was splitting this data and reading the variables (time and name_i) from each file in following way:
[TIME(:,j), name_i(:,j)]=textread('filename','%f\t%f','headerlines',5);
But now I am producing the data of those files into 1 file as shown in beginning. For example I want to read and store TIME data in vectors TIME1, TIME2, TIME3, TIME4, TIME5 for name_3, name_6, _9 respectively, and similarly for others.
First of all, I suggest you don't use variable names such as TIME1,TIME2 etc, since that gets messy quickly. Instead, you can e.g. use a cell array with five rows (one for each well), and one or two columns. In the sample code below, wellData{2,1} is the time for the second well, wellData{2,2} is the corresponding Oil Rate SC - Yearly.
There might be more elegant ways to do the reading; here's something quick:
%# open the file
fid = fopen('Reportq.rwo');
%# read it into one big array, row by row
fileContents = textscan(fid,'%s','Delimiter','\n');
fileContents = fileContents{1};
fclose(fid); %# don't forget to close the file again
%# find rows containing TABLE NUMBER
wellStarts = strmatch('TABLE NUMBER',fileContents);
nWells = length(wellStarts);
%# loop through the wells and read the numeric data
wellData = cell(nWells,2);
wellStarts = [wellStarts;length(fileContents)];
for w = 1:nWells
%# read lines containing numbers
tmp = fileContents(wellStarts(w)+5:wellStarts(w+1)-1);
%# convert strings to numbers
tmp = cellfun(@str2num,tmp,'uniformOutput',false);
%# catenate array
tmp = cat(1,tmp{:});
%# assign output
wellData(w,:) = mat2cell(tmp,size(tmp,1),[1,1]);
end
