loadmatfile loads a Matlab V6 MAT-file (binary or ASCII) into Scilab loadmatfile(format,filename[,var1[,var2[,...]]]) loadmatfile(filename[,format[,var1[,var2[,...]]]]) loadmatfile(filename[,var1[,var2,[,...[,format]]]]) filename character string containing the path of the file (needed) format file format (if not given and file has extension ".mat", file is considered to be binary) "-mat" binary file "-ascii" option to force Scilab to read file as an ASCII file var1, var2 character strings containing the name of the variables to load (only for binary files) loads a Matlab MAT-file into Scilab. The Matlab data types are converted into the Scilab equivalents. load savematfile save mfile2sci matfile2sci This function uses MATIO library ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/matio/ ).
