How can I write in MATLAB the D19-12 format?

Hi there!

In the text below is used the D19-12 format. I have to use this numbers, they are inputs for my function. My teacher told me to extract each number, to assign it a name and to create a script with all. I have no clue what D19-12 means and how can I write it. 0.442070886493D-04, how can I write his number? What that D means? Thank you!

Do you have any solution for this problem ?

What is shown is not in D19-12 format. Fortran D format always requires space for the exponent including the sign for the exponent.

The difference is important in order to permit values to be properly broken out.

I thought for a moment it might be Fortran G format, but checking the details of G format again I can see that cannot be the case.
