Hi

'0862;1;10/09/2002;09:15:59;23.845089;38.018470;486253.80;4207588.10'
I need to read each line in different cells. each cell contains data between ";" and the third and forth one are date and time while others are double numbers.

"I need to read each line in different cells"   Why is that? And what does it exactly mean?

Here is a function, which does what I believe is what you want. The third column of out is a serial date number.
>> out = cssm('cssm.txt')
out =
1.0e+06 *
0.0009 0.0000 0.7315 0.0000 0.0000 0.4863 4.2076
0.0009 0.0000 0.7315 0.0000 0.0000 0.4863 4.2076
0.0009 0.0000 0.7315 0.0000 0.0000 0.4863 4.2076
>> datestr( out(:,3), 31 )
ans =
2002-10-09 09:15:59
2002-10-09 09:15:59
2002-10-09 09:15:59
where
function out = cssm( filespec )
fid = fopen( filespec );
cac = textscan( fid, '%f%f%s%s%f%f%f%f' ...
, 'Delimiter',';', 'CollectOutput',true );
fclose( fid );
str = cell2mat(cac{2});
sdn = datenum( str, 'mm/dd/yyyyHH:MM:SS');
out = cat( 2, cac{1}, sdn, cac{3} );
end
and where cssm.txt contains
0862;1;10/09/2002;09:15:59;23.845089;38.018470;486253.80;4207588.10
0862;1;10/09/2002;09:15:59;23.845089;38.018470;486253.80;4207588.10
0862;1;10/09/2002;09:15:59;23.845089;38.018470;486253.80;4207588.10

cssm is the function defined after the word, where, in my answer.

fid=fopen('FileName.txt')
tline = fgetl(fid)
out=[];
while ischar(tline)
out{end+1,1} =tline
tline= fgetl(fid);
end
fclose(fid)
%You can aadd
A=regexp(out,';','split')
n=numel((A{1}))
B=reshape([A{:}],n,[])'
res=[cell
