fid_in = fopen('input.csv', 'rt');
fid_out = fopen('output_file.txt', 'wt');
colname_line = fgetl(fid_in);
colnames = regexp(colname_line, '\s*\t\s*', 'split');
colnames_formatted = sprintf('$#%8s%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s%10s', colnames{:});
empty_formatted = blanks(80);
while true
thisline = fgetl(fid_in);
if ~ischar(thisline); break; end %end of file detected
vals_in = sscanf(thisline, '%f');
fprintf(fid_out, '*PART\n$# title\n%s\n%s\n', empty_formatted, colnames_formatted);
fprintf(fid_out, '%10g%10g%10g%10g%10g%10g%10g%10g\n', vals_in);
end
fclose(fid_in);
fclose(fid_out);

Change
colnames = regexp(colname_line, '\s*\t\s*', 'split');
to
colnames = regexp(colname_line, ',', 'split');
Change
vals_in = sscanf(thisline, '%f');
to
vals_in = sscanf(thisline, '%f,');
