How do I save a '.txt' file as a '.mat' file, using either MATLAB or Python?
I tried using textscan() (in MATLAB), and scipy.io.savemat() (in Python). Both didn't help.



My text file is of the format: value1,value2,value3,valu4 (each row) and has over 1000 rows.



Appreciate any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

          You can use textscan to read the file and save to save the variables into a .mat file



          fid = fopen('yourTextFile.txt');
          
C = textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f');
          
fclose(fid);
          
% maybe change the cells from `C` to a single matrix
          
M = cell2mat(C);
          
save('myMatFile.mat','M');


          This works because your file seems to have a fixed format.
          Have a look at this and this

          I was able to get it to work using csvread() as follows:



          file = csvread('yourTextFile.txt');
          
save('myMatFile.mat','file');

            if what you need is to change file format:
