Creating and Loading .dat and .ext Data Files in MATLAB"

[cpv]

we can call data file using 'load' command. I have created data file using notepad. which I can only save it with .ext extension, not dat.

where to create .dat files? and how can I load .ext or .dat files? thanks

Notepad will be saving as plain (ASCII) text. If the Matlab .dat format is also text, simply change the .ext (.txt?) extension to .dat in Windows Explorer. OK any warning Windows gives on the change.
