What do you mean by "real time"? Notice that the file output is buffered usually, such that the file is written in chunks. Then "real time" is not strictly defined.

Hello Avinash,

As per my understanding, the dlmread() or readmatrix() function will read the data from a file and store it in a matrix. Please refer to the following documentation for more information on the functions:

I hope this helps!
