Cannot use dlmread to read the whole tab-delimited file

I am still new to MATLAB. I am going to read a file containing lines with tab-delimited entries. Below is the example:

   3.000   3.000   3.000   3.000   3.000   3.000   3.000

The whole file is in this link. When I try using dlmread like this:

entry = dlmread(filepath,'\t',4,0);

It only reads 3294 instead of 125172 entries starting from the 5th line. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

In the file you uploaded, there are 250344 entries, not 125172, starting from the 5th row to the end. dlmread(filepath,'',4,0); reads all of them. (3294*76=250344).

Why does \t not work here?
This is because the spaces in your file are not really tab spaces. Those are some simple spaces.
