Could you open the file as a text file and read the variables that way?
i dont know the structure of matlab so sorry i cant be of any more help

use the filesystem object to define the drives, paths and file types you need.

I don't do much VBA in excel but you can control things in Access quite easily and Access VBA is very very close to Excel VBA.
