a=regexp(text,'(?<==)\d+(.)?(\d+)?','match','once')
id=~cellfun(@isempty,a(:,1))
a=str2double(a(id))

Standard scientific notation using "E" syntax does not use any multiplier symbol, so your source data is non-standard and therefore MATLAB does not recognize it. Therefore you basically have two choices:
- Change the source data to use standard E-notation.
- Read the data into MATLAB as strings, and then do some hackery using regexprep before converting to numeric.
