title: Reading scientific notation tab delimited text file in MATLAB
body: <p>Is there a built-in function that can read scientific notation from a tab delimited text file in MATLAB?</p>
  
  <p>A line of data looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-1.52E-01   -1.32E-01   7.20E-02    -6.78E-04   1.97E-04    -1.89E-03   0.00E+00
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried <code>tdfread(filename, delimiter)</code> without success.</p>
