How about the following?
% Read txt file
fid = fopen('data1.txt','r');
strData = textscan(fid,'%s','Delimiter','\r\n');
strData = strData{1};
fclose(fid);
% Eliminate empty line(s) and the line(s) which contains '--'
idx1 = cellfun(@isempty,strData);
idx2 = contains(strData,'--');
strData = strData(~idx1 & ~idx2);
% Insert space before '#'
strData = replace(strData,'#',' #');
% Replace 3 or more consecutive spaces to 2 consecutive spaces
strData = regexprep(strData,'\s{3,}',' ');
% Prepare the output cell array
outData = cell(size(strData,1),6);
% Split each line with 2 consecutive spaces
for kk = 1:size(strData,1)
c = strsplit(strData{kk},' ');
outData(kk,[1:numel(c)-1, end]) = c;
end
% Save as Excel file
writecell(outData,'result.xlsx');
