Hi
I was wondering how can I import data from a Microsoft word document into IDL in a mtrix form?
I.e. I want to create a matrix whose elements are from a word document. I have the elements of matrix A in a word document (1 column, 200 elements) and I want to import them in IDL.
Many Thanks
Mar

If this is a one-off thing, I would copy-paste to e.g. Excel and save as comma-separated text. Then you can read that (openr, readf, etc): http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/READ.html
If this is something you'll need to do a lot (i.e. inefficient to manually convert to CSV each time), I am not sure, guess you would need to find out the MS Word file format somehow?
