Two approaches to this that I can think of are:

  1. Storing the output of type filename into a string using evalc, for example:

    str = evalc('type filename');

  2. Directly reading the file and storing its contents into a string, for instance:

    C = textread(filename, '%s', 'delimiter', '');
str = sprintf('%s\n', C{:});

    There are, of course, alternative ways of doing this with textscan, fgets, fgetl, etc...

The resulting str should now hold the contents of your file.

fid=fopen('filename.whatever','r')
txt=fread(fid,'uint8=>char')' %note the transpose!
