[Nek5000-users] Reading binary data

Dear Neks, I have written a small Matlab function to read in the binary result files. Mostly I understood the structure including the header and the structure of the data. After reading in the data (in my case I only wrote x,y,z,u,v,w,p) there was still some information in the result file. See % ??? for i=1:252 rest(i)=fread(fid,1,'float'); end in the function. Can you explain me what is this?? I added the Matlab function. Best , Fred
