Example

readfiletoc generic example, where the returned cell is organized as nested cells.

rcell=readfiletoc('Path/filename')

rcell(1,3)
rcell{1,1} = FileName
rcell{1,2} = Number of subcases (a)
rcell{1,3} = r1cell(a,3) – (value of 'a' is 1 if number of subcases is zero)
                     r1cell{1,1} = 1st subcase name
                     r1cell{1,2} = Number of Types in 1st subcase (b)
                     r1cell{1,3} = r2cell(b,3)
                                       r2cell{1,1} = 1st Type name
                                       r2cell{1,2} = number of requests in 1st type ( c  )
                                       r2cell{1,3} = r3cell(c,3)
