I did post a link on matlabcentral, http://www.mathworks.in/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/265578, do you have any suggestion how I should read the data from the web and put it into a matrix? -Magnus Hi Doug,

I tried to use you method to import data from the web, but it did not work. I did post a link on matlabcentral, http://www.mathworks.in/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/265578, do you have any suggestion how I should read the data from the web and put it into a matrix?

Doug @Russell,

It's been a great help. I have a MATLAB interface to the UF Sparse Matrix Collection called UFget, which downloads matrices from the collection into the MATLAB workspace. I used to have a Java component to it, but now I can do it all in M, with URLREAD, and my code is now much simpler (and more robust). URLREAD is great. It’s been a great help.
