Read a string with spaces into MATLAB from a file

In my text file I have several lines of input in the following format

Arun 3 4.0 Text

where Text can be a string of several words separated by spaces.

I want to read this into MATLAB such that I get a 4xn matrix, where Arun, 3, 4.0, Text should be the four fields for each entry in the Result Matrix.

I tried using fscanf, but fscanf assumes that the different terms are space separated.

So in the above example, if Text was say "Hello World", then fscanf returns 5 items 

[Arun, 3, 4.0, Hello, World]

but what I want is something like 

[Arun, 3, 4.0, Hello World]

So, how do I achieve this in Hadoop?

Try to use textscan function (http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/textscan.html):

C = textscan(fileID, '%s %d %f %[^\n]')
