opening txt-file,script under octav

[kathy_plotnikova]

Hello dear everyone!

Let me aplogyse please for my level of aknoweledge. I am very new in Octav,
and previosly I have never written a script, but now I have a lot of data so
I really have to do it.
In my script I need to create an array with data from the 9th row of every
data file I have. So first of all I tried to work with one file, called
k1.csv. Thus I wrote script called palscol.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#include <stdio.h>
fid = fopen('k1.csv','rt');
Z = textscan(fid,9);
fclose(fid);
echo "Z is $Z";

But I got an error

./palscol.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./palscol.sh: line 3: `fid = fopen('k1.csv','rt');'

I spent almost all day trying to go throught this but unsuccessfully..
So I will be extremelly glad if you will find a little time to have a look.
And also, is it possible to work wirk with txt data files instead of csv
data files?

Best regards,
