export traces to Matlab files

[stephen s]

I am currently using the "Write Traces To Spreadsheet File.vi" routine to export data from my database to a form I can use in other applications (i.e. MatLab). However, this file then requires additional processing before I can use it in MatLab, as some variables are numbers and some are strings, and MatLab can only (as fasr as I know) import a file where every value is of the same datatype.

Is there a simple way to export my data as a MatLab .m datafile from LabVIEW such that MatLac can then directly open it?
