Re: DLMREAD causes my computer to hang

[Baar.J.van.]

Maybe this can help you:

function output=dlmread(filename,dummy,range)

data=eval(sprintf("load %s;",filename));

range++;
output=data(range(1):range(3),range(2):range(4));
endfunction

dlmread("filename.dat','does not matter',[1 1 2 2]

selects from

1 2 3 
4 5 6
7 8 9 

5 6
8 9

if you don't want a selection: change data into output
