Reading file

[Delgon]

Hey,
I have a problem with slow reads.

    fid = fopen(Filename,'r');
    if fid > 0
      L = '';
      while ischar(L),
        L = fgets(fid);
        if ischar(L),
          T = [T; L];
        end
      end
    end

Everything works great but it is very slow. The problem is 'T = [T; L];'.
When I'm reading file with 100k lines (80 characters per line) it takes 145s
for this file to give me T variable. Without 'T = [T; L];' it takes like
1.5s. With MatLab, same function and file it is gonna process it in around
0.25s and give my my T variable at the end.

Do you have any ideas how could I improve this read function? I would like
to get T in the same format as it is if possoble.

Michal
