function tline = fgetl(fid)

%FGETL Read line from file, discard newline character.

%   TLINE = FGETL(FID) returns the next line of a file associated with file

%   identifier FID as a MATLAB character vector. The line terminator is NOT included.

%   Use FGETS to get the next line with the line terminator INCLUDED. If just an

%   end-of-file is encountered, -1 is returned.

%

%   If an error occurs while reading from the file, FGETL returns an empty character

%   vector. Use FERROR to determine the nature of the error.

%

%   MATLAB reads characters using the encoding scheme associated with the file. See

%   FOPEN for more information.

%

%   FGETL is intended for use with files that contain newline characters. Given a

%   file with no newline characters, FGETL may take a long time to execute.

%

%   Example

%       fid=fopen('fgetl.m');

%       while 1

%           tline = fgetl(fid);

%           if ~ischar(tline), break, end

%           disp(tline)

%       end

%       fclose(fid);
