I dont know why my code does not work... Can anybody help me?

I want to read my 'Rainflow_Data_Limits_Settings.txt' file in matlab. Everything works except: diagramlimits

My diagramlimits2 diagramlimits3 have the same values -> Why? Thank you for your help. Here is my code:

clear all %löscht alle Variablen 
clear clc %löscht den Bildschirm

%Gliederungen
diagramoptions = [];
diagramlimits = [];
inputdata = [];

diagramoptions2 = [];
diagramlimits2 = [];
inputdata2 = [];

diagramoptions3 = [];
diagramlimits3 = [];
inputdata3 = [];

%liest mein Textfile ein. 
wholecontent = fileread('Rainflow_Data_Limits_Settings.txt')
sections = regexp(wholecontent, '\*+([^*]+)\*+([^*]+)', 'tokens')

for section = sections
   switch(strtrim(section{1}{1}))%newTxt = strtrim(txt) entfernt führende und nachfolgende Leerzeichen Zeichen von txt und gibt das Ergebnis als newTxtzurück. strtrim wird jedoch nicht signifikanten Leerzeichen entfernt. Zum Beispiel strtrim entfernt führende und nachfolgende Leerzeichen und Tabulatorzeichen, aber beseitigt nicht das geschützte Leerzeichen, char(160).

         case 'Diagram Options' %Diagram Options -> siehe meine Gliederung im .txt file
            keyvalues = regexp(section{1}{2}, '([^\n\r=]+)=([^\n\r=]+)', 'tokens')%\n -> new line; \r carriage return
            diagramoptions = cell2table(vertcat(keyvalues{:}), 'VariableNames', {'Key', 'Value'})

         case 'Diagram Limits'
            header = strsplit(regexp(section{1}{2}, '[^\n\r]*', 'match', 'once'))
            content = textscan(section{1}{2}, repmat('%f', 1, numel(header)), 'HeaderLines', 2)
            diagramlimits = table(content{:}, 'VariableNames', header)

         case 'Input Data'
            inputdata = cell2mat(textscan(section{1}{2}, '%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 1))%dh: ich habe 1 Headerline zur besseren übersicht

         case 'Diagram Options2' %Diagram Options -> siehe meine Gliederung im .txt file

         case 'Input Data2'
            inputdata2 = cell2mat(textscan(section{1}{2}, '%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 1))%dh: ich habe 1 Headerline zur besseren übersicht

          case 'Diagram Options3' %Diagram Options -> siehe meine Gliederung im .txt file
            keyvalues3 = regexp(section{1}{2}, '([^\n\r=]+)=([^\n\r=]+)', 'tokens')%\n -> new line; \r carriage return
            diagramoptions3 = cell2table(vertcat(keyvalues3{:}), 'VariableNames', {'Key', 'Value'})

         case 'Diagram Limits3'
            header3 = strsplit(regexp(section{1}{2}, '[^\n\r]*', 'match', 'once'))
            content3 = textscan(section{1}{2}, repmat('%f', 1, numel(header3)), 'HeaderLines', 2)

Dunno, but I'd suggest using debugger and set breakpoint on the two sections in question and see what seems to go wrong...you can probably figure out the problem faster than somebody totally unfamiliar with the dataset can..

diagramlimits2 is using content instead of content2. To fix:

diagramlimits2 = table(content2{:}, 'VariableNames', header2)

same for diagramlimits3:

diagramlimits2 = table(content3{:}, 'VariableNames', header2)
