how to read text file into matrix format in matlab.

Sir,

I have a text file contains 2 sentences,

    This is very very nice picture.

    The picture quality is nice.

I want this file into following matrix format. the header line is all the common words in the text file. In the second line each sentence how many times appears in each word.

the output matrix is,

       This is very nice picture the quality
         1   1   2    1    1      0     0
         0   1   0    1    1      1     1

how get this output using matlab.

thanks in advance.

I couldn't understand the question properly. Can u pls explain it.

1st row contains the sentence removing the duplicate words. I`m not able to understand 2nd row and 3rd row of the output matrix

[Walter Roberson]

One output row for each sentence, it appears to me. The numbers are the number of times the word above the number appears in the sentence. There are two "very" in the first sentence so the first output has "2" in the output column for "very"

[Jothi]

That's correct sir, the second row, the no. of times the word appears for the first sentence. for example the word this is appeared one time, is is appeared one time, very is appeared two times and so on. similarly, the row third is second sentence in the text file.

How to find it sir,

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

strs = {'This', 'is', 'very', 'nice', 'picture', 'the', 'quality'};
vals - [1 1 2 1 1 0 0; 0 1 0 1 1 1 1];

fprintf('%4s', strs{:});
fprintf('\n');
fprintf('%4d', vals(1,:))
fprintf('\n');
fprintf('%4d', vals(2,:))
fprintf('\n');

[Chandrasekhar]

the sentences has to be read from the .txt file. then its has to be divided into rows and columns

[Walter Roberson]

The difficult part of the Question is the "how to get this output", and that is the part I answered. There are a lot of examples around about how to read inputs from files, but there are not many examples around about how to present results in aligned tables.

Sir,

your printing the above matrix.

But, i want read the text file and then compute the above matrix.

thanks.
