how to fgetl and sscanf numbers only

[summer8]

Hi,
I'm trying to read the numbers only from each line but without reading the ND or the commas.

ND, 1, -0.0104594 -0.12456164 6.0715322E-017
ND, 2, -0.0098119825 -0.12460658 -0.0013874772
ND, 3, -0.0096356887 -0.11458401 -0.001629882


With the numbers read, is it possible to sscanf them into another textfile and place the read numbers in this structure format?

<node id="1">-0.0104594,-0.12456164,6.0715322E-017</node>
<node id="2"> -0.0098119825,-0.12460658,-0.0013874772</node>
<node id="3">0.0096356887,-0.11458401,-0.001629882 </node>

Use textscan() w/ 'delimiter',',' and skip the first field or use the
'treatasempty' parameter.

Or, just go straightahead w/ fscanf/fprintf...

>> c={'ND, 1, -0.0104594 -0.12456164 6.0715322E-017';

'ND, 2, -0.0098119825 -0.12460658 -0.0013874772';

'ND, 3, -0.0096356887 -0.11458401 -0.001629882'};
>> reshape(sscanf(char(c)','ND, %d, %f %f %f'),4,[])'
ans =
1.0000 -0.0105 -0.1246 0.0000
2.0000 -0.0098 -0.1246 -0.0014
3.0000 -0.0096 -0.1146 -0.0016
>> fprintf('<node id="%d">%f,%f,%f</node>\n',ans')
<node id="1">-0.010459,-0.124562,0.000000</node>
<node id="2">-0.009812,-0.124607,-0.001387</node>
<node id="3">-0.009636,-0.114584,-0.001630</node>

Salt to suit...NB the locations of the transpose operator...
