Consider the following code:

data = textscan(fid,'%s%d%d%d%d%f%d%f%f%f%d','Delimiter',',','HeaderLines',28)

I want to break the line as follows:

data = textscan(fid,'%s%d%d%d%d%f%d...
%f%f%f%d','Delimiter',',','HeaderLines',28)

Matlab does not allow this and makes the second line a comment because of the % sign.

I have tried the following:

data = textscan(fid,'%s%d%d%d%d%f%d%...
f%f%f%d','Delimiter',',','HeaderLines',28)

But now the second line still gets commented out after the first f.

How can I do a line continuation with a % sign involved?

    You should use square-brackets ([]) to break strings up like that: 

    data = textscan(fid,['%s%d%d%d%d%f%d%f' ...
'%f%f%d'], 'Delimiter',',','HeaderLines',28)
