Importing only specific entries from a text file to matlab

Hello,
I am trying to import a text file, but do not need all the information, just only specifics (after the : operator). Here is a sample version of the text file
Select type (A or B or C): C Enter the number of days: 30 Select test type (Reg or Mod): Reg Enter the number of TC's used: 1
The data is a mix of alphanumeric and numeric. So I need something that handle both. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Regular expressions are probably your best option. Look at the following:
>> s = 'Select type (A or B or C): C Enter the number of days: 30 Select test type (Reg or Mod): Reg Enter the number of TC''s used: 1' ;
>> results = regexp(s, '(?<=:\s+)\S+', 'match')
results =
'C' '30' 'Reg' '1'
The second argument in the call to REGEXP is the pattern. Let me know if you need help to understand it.

You're welcome!
Indexing is not the simplest thing to understand by ourselves actually, this is why I gave a little more explanations than usual. Paradoxically, understanding how to solve nice enough differential equations with MATLAB is simpler than understanding basic data structure and indexing.
