Text Import Error: Index exceeds matrix dimensions

I am importing a number of text files and converting them to Matlab format using the code below (Note: the entire code is not included, just up to the portion where I am having issues). Most of them are running through just fine, but several (6 out of 20) are getting hung up. Below the code is the error message I am getting. I have scanned my files for inconsistencies between those that work and those that don't but cannot find any.
Can anyone see what I am missing/misunderstanding?
Thank you in advance for your help.
P.W.
% Scan file for locations of key parameters
loopdone=0;
count=1;
channamecount=0;
while loopdone==0
currentcell=textscan(fileID,'%s',1,'delimiter', {'\n'});currentline=currentcell{1,1};
%Load line of data
% search for Number of Channels
if strncmp(currentline,'DM_NumLogChans=',15)==1
numchan=str2num(currentline{1}(16:(length(currentline{1}))));
end
% search for Number of Data modes
if strncmp(currentline,'DM_NumDataModes=',16)==1
numdatamodes=str2num(currentline{1}(17:(length(currentline{1}))));
end
% search for channel names
if strncmp(currentline,'DM_ChanName=',12)==1
channamecount=channamecount+1;
channameraw(channamecount,1)=currentline; %extract channel name
end
% search for Data start
if strcmp(currentline,'DM_Start=')==1
dataline=count+1;
loopdone=1;
end
% search for Sample rate
if strncmp(currentline,'DM_SampleRate=',14)==1
samplerate=str2num(currentline{1}(15:(length(currentline{1}))));
end
count=count+1;
end
% cleanup channel names data
begintext=strfind(channameraw, '@');
endtext=strfind(channameraw, '.RN_');
for count=1:length(channameraw)
channame{count}=channameraw{count}(1,begintext{count}+1:endtext{count}-1);
end
% Import Data
rawimport = importdata(filename,'\t',dataline-1);
numdatapoints=length(rawimport.data);
%Get serial Dates
tempmat=char(rawimport.textdata(dataline:dataline+numdatapoints-1));
for count=1:numdatapoints
tempmat(count,11)=' ';
end
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in edaq2mat (line 82)
tempmat=char(rawimport.textdata(dataline:dataline+numdatapoints-1));
