How to read tsv file in matlab?

The TSV is an acronym for Tab Separated Values, in R these types of files can be imported using two methods one is by using functions present in readr package and another method is to import the tsv file by specifying the delimiter as tab space(‘\t’) in read.delim() function as follows.

First, we need to install and load the readr package

Next, using read_tsv() method present in readr package we are going to the content present in it. (The read_tsv method is going to return the contents in the file as data frame)

Output:

In general read.delim() function in R is used to read space separated files by default but by specifying the delimiter(separator) as ‘\t’  we can also read TSV files in R.

Output:

Note:

By observing the obtained outputs the basic difference between both the methods is read_tsv() function returned the dataframe with columns by specifying the type of it [ Student_Id – double, Student_Name – Character ], when it comes to read.delim() method it simply returns the data present in the tsv file.
