Thanks Doug,

I am going to dig deeply into this. If I will still have problems, can I share a file with you?

Samuele

yes

Hi Doug,

attached a bin file I am trying to read.

It should have 3 (or 4) columns and 1000 rows.

Thanks a lot,

Samuele

 where did you get the file? I seems to have a header before the data.

Is it 8 bit data 16 bit etc. 

you have to know all these things before you try and read it in!

Dear Users,

I am new in the mailing list.

My question is: how can I read binary, with Octave? I followed the steps on this page, but I get wrong numbers.

Any idea?


Thanks,

Samuele

did you use the arch parametre?

The optional argument arch is a string specifying the data format for the file. Valid values are

"native" or "n"

The format of the current machine.

"ieee-be" or "b"

IEEE big endian.

"ieee-le" or "l"

IEEE little endian.
