how can we read your question? Please format using {} Code button and if this is the sample of your text file, attach it using the paperclip icon.

The irregularity in following the same formatting for fields at the beginning means will have to read as string variables and parse each individual entry or use regexp...I'm not guru with regular expressions but undoubtedly one can write one that will work.

I don't think even the new datetime class will handle that level of precision in the fractional seconds field, however. It's unlikely that is meaningful anyway one would suspect...

There is a trivial answer: fileread reads the entire file. But I guess that you want to split and interpret the data, but you did not mention any details unfortunately. So what is the wanted output?

s = fileread(FileName);
c = strsplit(s, ' ');

Now most of the substrings have the format "a:b", but there are two "1" also. I cannot guess, what you want as output then, but if should not be hard to obtain it - after it is defined clearly.

Is the following working?

 data = reshape(sscanf(strrep(fileread('MyData.txt'), ':', ' '), '%f'), 310, []).' ;
