How can I add a line return to an uploaded text file?

I've uploaded a large .txt file containing the directories of all files of a desired file type. In the .txt file, every directory is on its own line. Once uploaded to Matlab however, the line returns are missing and I am left with a matrix of 1x2621385 char.

What function are you using to read it into your MATLAB workspace?

Posting the code you use would be helpful.

I used fopen and then fscanf.

fileID=fopen('master_inventory.txt');

inventory=fscanf(fileID, '%c');

Try:

inventory= textscan(fileID,'%s %*[^\n]');
inventory = inventory{1};

Worked wonderfully, THANK YOU!!!
