I solve the problem
actually uiimport creat a temprary text file and paste on it the data from clipboard in one line.
then the code that generated by import tool changes the data from that line( of text file) to a specific dataArray.
I add this function to the code ( txt=clipboard('paste');) txt is a 1*1 ( like the line of temrary text file)
delimiter = '\t';
%% Format for each line of text:
% column1: text (%s)
% column2: text (%s)
% column3: text (%s)
% column4: text (%s)
% column5: text (%s)
% column6: text (%s)
% For more information, see the TEXTSCAN documentation.
formatSpec = '%s%s%s%s%s%s%[^\n\r]';
%% Read columns of data according to the format.
txt = clipboard('paste');
dataArray = textscan(txt, formatSpec, 'Delimiter', delimiter, 'TextType', 'string', 'ReturnOnError', false);
%% Create output variable
DATA = [dataArray{1:end-1}];
%% Clear temporary variables
clearvars delimiter formatSpec dataArray txt ;
thank you all for your help
