I need to read data from a txt file and then put it in a table in GUI. I have tried getting it in a cell array and then use it but the table does not take the cell array as data input. I have then tried using a matrix but I have characters and integers in the txt file and cell2mat does not work. How can I handle that?
handles.fileName = uigetfile;
handles.fid=fopen(handles.fileName);
handles.cellArray=textscan(handles.fid, '%s %f %f %f');
handles.matrix=cell2mat(handles.cellArray);
handles.f = figure;
handles.t = uitable(handles.f); %creating empty table
handles.t.Data=handles.matrix; %assigning the data

Assuming that all entries in the cell array are either numeric, logical or string, (with a single entry in each cell), you should be able to set the uitable data property to the cellArray

Try:
C = textscan(handles.fid, '%s %f %f %f');
handles.cellArray = cat(2, C{:});
