Hi shabnam jan, There is this command in MATLAB where you can read from a text file. It is like this: text = fileread(filename)
Other command that might be useful for text files are as follows:
textread
csvread
textscan
Refer to MATLAB documentation to see the details on these commands :)

The format of the file is important. The following code assumes each line is a title.
fileid = fopen(filename);
ind = 0;
while(1)
ind = ind+1;
titles{ind} = fgetl(fileid);
if ~ischar(tline), break, end
end
fclose(fileid);
The cellarray 'titles' now contains all the titles. Hope that helps.

titles = regexp( fileread(YourFileName), '\n', 'split');
