Thanks, Aishwarya

If you have a txt file with row vector data that look like:

file.txt

3.4
-4.1
1.5
-3
...

Then you can simply use:

data = load('file.txt');   #% load file
N = length(data);          #% number of elements
mu = mean(data);           #% mean
sigma = std(data);         #% standard deviation
plot(data)                 #% simple plot

csvread

Given the file csvlist.dat that contains the comma-separated values

 02, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12
   03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18
   05, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
   07, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42
   11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66

To read the entire file, use

csvread('csvlist.dat')

ans =

     2     4     6     8    10    12
     3     6     9    12    15    18
     5    10    15    20    25    30
     7    14    21    28    35    42
    11    22    33    44    55    66

Or you can use importdata.
