Reading particular amount of char in a string

Hello, I am facing some in following this code:

num = ' .10995E+032078.00176';

size(num);

num1 = num(1:11); %num1 = .10995E+03

num2 = num(12:21); %num2 = 2078.00176

num_w = str2num([num1 num2])

I am getting

num_w =

       Inf    0.0018

Would you please tell me how can I rectify that problem?

Try this:

num = '.10995E+032078.00176';
num1 = str2num(num(1:11));
num2 = str2num(num(12:end));
num_w = [num1 num2]

I tried that. I got this: num_w =

   1.0e+03 *

    0.1100    2.0780

That is the answer, displayed with your default output display format. Read about format to know how to change this. The term 1.0e+03 applies to all elements of the array that follow it.

Thanks for the reply. I tried 'format shortG'. I got the values, but before the decimal point. Would you please suggest me a better format type by using which I can have my whole number?

Thanks in Advance
