This is a public forum and its nature is to share the information inside it. Therefore it is unusual and not wanted to communicate by mail. Publishing your mail address is an invitation for spammers.

I suggest to ask more clearly. You have the code to read your files already? So why don't you use it? What kind of "mgd" files are you talking of? Master Grade Gradebook? Mungyodance (Data Pack) by Empathetic Enteprises? Mein Geld Datenbank (Buhl)?

Thanks Jan.

Here is the source code as attached:

function [UT1s,MagDataIAGA] = ReadIAGA1s(filename);

UT1s = zeros(1,86400);
MagDataIAGA = zeros(86400,4);

fid = fopen('ILR20071231psec.sec');
if fid > 0
    disp(filename)
    format = '%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d.000 %3d %9.2f %9.2f %9.2f %9.2f';
    [yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mn,ss,doy,H,D,Z,F] = textread(filename,format,'headerlines',13);
%     for j=1:length(yyyy)
%         UT1s(1,j) = datenum(yyyy(j),mm(j),dd(j),hh(j),mn(j),ss(j));
%     end
    UT1s = datenum(yyyy(1),mm(1),dd(1),hh(1),mn(1),ss(1)):1/86400:datenum(yyyy(end),mm(end),dd(end),hh(end),mn(end),ss(end));
    MagDataIAGA(1:86400,1) = H;
    MagDataIAGA(1:86400,2) = D;
    MagDataIAGA(1:86400,3) = Z;
    MagDataIAGA(1:86400,4) = F;
else
    disp(['Can not find ' filename]);
end

The .mdg file is a MAGDAS (Magnetic Data Acquisition System) file. I saved as a .mat file

Please I do not know how to use the source code to read the .mat file. Please help me out.

a) Where did you get that code from? The fact that it requires a file ILR20071231psec.sec on the path to be present and never does anything with it (other than leaving it open) is very puzzling

b) that code is not designed to open mat files, only text files in a specific format.
