fid = fopen('input.txt', 'r');
data = fread(fid);
CharData = char(data);
fclose(fid);
input = CharData;

e.g

input =

b
a
t
!
 
!
c
a
t
 
c
a
t

方法二

fidin = fopen('input.txt');                              % open input.txt
fidout = fopen('data.txt','w');                          % create data.txt
while ~feof(fidin)                                       % end of file?
    tline = fgetl(fidin);                                % read lines   
    fprintf(fidout,'%s\n\n',tline);                      % wirte to file.txt   
end
fclose(fidout);
input = importdata('data.txt');                          % import data.txt into workspace: variable = input
input = cell2mat(input);
