x='$RAIM';
y='$GPGGA';
fid=fopen('myfile.txt');
while ~feof(fid)
tline = fgetl(fid);
if contains(tline,x)
fprintf(id,'%s\n',tline)
end
end
fclose(fid)
% Input file contents
$RAIM,002212,003080,000818,001156,020000,020000,000777,001098,111,3,11111111*32
$GPGGA,151943.50,1257.32717,N,07738.23927,E,2,09,0.87,823.3,M,,M,,*44.
if second last column of RAIM line is 5 not 3 then only select GPGGA line otherwise go to next line.

S = fileread('myfile.txt');
gpgga_lines = regexp(S, '(?<=^\$RAIM,.*,5,[^,]*$)\$GPGGA,.*$', 'match', 'lineanchors', 'dotexceptnewline');

p1 = '$RAIM'; p2 = '$GPGGA';
selecting_data = false;
while ~feof(fid)
tline = fgetl(fid);
if ~ischar(tline); break; end; %end of file
if strncmp(tline, p1, length(p1))
selecting_data = tline(67) == '5';
fprintf(fid, '%s\n', tline);
elseif selecting_data && strncmp(tline, p2, length(p2))
fprintf(fid, '%s\n', tline);
end
end
fclose(fid);
