can Matlab load .nitrace file format directly ?

I am developing an application in which i have implemented a code that reads the data from .txt file generated by NI- I/O trace using matlab.

In the above mentioned case, NI- IO trace converts .nitrace file format to .txt file format which i need to do manually. Now I need to read the data generated by NI- I/O trace directly from '.nitrace' file format. I want to know if its possible and If not possible to load the data directly using matlab, i wish to program the follwing operation of converting the .nitrace file to .txt file using matlab:

"NI I/O trace > file > export> .txt file"

any leads or approches are welcome.

Thanks,

Ranjith

function no_out = nitrace2txt(x)

h = actxserver('WScript.Shell');

winopen(x) %Invokes ni io trace.exe

h.SendKeys('%'); %invokes attention to io trace

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('%'); %points file menu

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('{DOWN}'); %opens file menu

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('E'); %points export

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('~'); %perform exporting

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('~'); %save file in the same folder

pause(1); %wait

h.SendKeys('%{F4}'); %closes ni io trace

end
