access data read from file

Trying to read a text file of real numbers into an array, then output the data sequentially as part of a matlab function in Simulink. Main problem is, if I don't initialize the array "RF=zeros(Filesize,1)" the "Output=RF(CountRom/2)" complains "Subscripting into an mxArray is not supported". Setting "Filesize" requires prior knowledge of the length of the file. If "Filesize" is wrong, the fscanf complains that the "read" and "expected" don't match. I'm sure there's a simple solution, just not sure what it is.
function Output = ReadTxt()
coder.extrinsic('fopen')
coder.extrinsic('fclose')
coder.extrinsic('fscanf')
FileSize = 29866;
persistent CountRom RF
if isempty(CountRom)
CountRom = uint32(0);
RF = zeros(FileSize,1);
fid = -1;
fid = fopen('Filename.txt', 'r');
if (fid > 0)
RF=fscanf(fid, '%f');
fclose(fid);
else
error('File open failed');
end
end
if (CountRom < FileSize)
CountRom = CountRom + 1;
Output = RF(CountRom / 2); % note, RF is base 1
else
fclose('all');
Output = 0;
end
end

Have you considered using 'From File' block ? if your aim is to get data from the file at each time step, this might be the solution for you.
Here is the doc link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/fscanf.html
