I have a text filewith information like this:
FileName; SampleFreq; Test;Modality;Channel;Description;StimIntensity; Position; RecordingTime
C:\Users\G10040419\Desktop\lp export application\Data 139\00000090_1.WAV; 22000; 2;1;1;5 CH Right; 0.00; -10000; 40147.491374
I need to extract the sampleFreq (22000) and the position (-10000). I tried to use regular expressions, but I cannot find specific delimiter for these data.

The following code uses regexp to extract the data you want. You can play around with the expression here .
data = fileread('00000090Head.txt');
expression = '(?<=WAV;\s*)(\d*)(?:;\s*\d*;\d;\d;(.*?(?=;));\s*\d*\.\d*;\s*)(-?\d*)';
[tokens,match] = regexp(data,expression,'tokens','match');
sampleFrequency = cellfun(@(x) x(1,1),tokens);
position = cellfun(@(x) x(1,2),tokens);
Position and sampleFrequency are both 1x183 cell arrays and contain the data you are interested in.
position = {'-10000' '-9000' '-8000' '-7000' '-6000' '-5000' '-4500' '-4000' '-3500' '-3000' ................}
sampleFrequency = {'22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' '22000' .................}

Is this what you are looking for?
fid = fopen( '00000090Head.txt', 'r' );
cac = textscan( fid, '%*s%f%*f%*f%*f%*s%*f%f%*f', 'Headerlines',1,'Delimiter',';' );
fclose( fid );
and inspect the result
>> cac
cac =
1×2 cell array
{183×1 double} {183×1 double}
>> cac{2}(1:3)
ans =
-10000
-9000
-8000

Importing the data as strings and then using regular expressions to parse them is inefficient, yet is not required because that file is very nicely formatted in delimited columns, and the required data can easily and efficiently be read directly as numeric (or char). The command textscan makes it easy specify how to read those columns, and the format string is much simpler and more intuitive that those regular expressions:
>> fmt = '%*s%f%*d%*d%*d%*s%*f%f%*f';
>> opt = {'HeaderLines',1,'Delimiter',';'};
>> [fid,msg] = fopen('00000090Head.txt','rt');
>> assert(fid>=3,msg)
>> C = textscan(fid,fmt,opt{:});
>> fclose(fid);
>> [C{:}]
