It will if you tell fscanf about the characters:

 f = fopen ("foo.dat");
 x = fscanf (f, "%fm %fn");
 x = reshape (x, [2, numel(x)/2])';

OK.

Does this assume that in column 1the letter "m" occurs in every line, no other letter and no number without letter?
And in column 2 always "n" ?

What happens if there are different letters in the same column, for example mixing "milli" and "micro" or having geographical coordinates with "E" and "W"?
