Hi, 
I use Cadence to simulate microelectronic circuit, but I don't really appreciate the calculator provided in the software suite. I then Use Matlab to perform derivations on the data. Cadence use the Engineering Notation (EN) to store data (maybe there's a way to change that but so far I don't know it) and obviously Matlab does not know how to deal with that.

To make things clear and avoid misunderstanding, when I talk about Engineering Notation, I talk about:
G <=> 10e9, M <=> 10e6, k <=> 10e3...

So, as I don't know if Matlab knows EN, each time I use a text editor and change all these engineering suffixes. This is such a fun and so not boring task...
My question is then:
Is there a way to import data stored in Engineering notation format in matlab ??

Thank you for your time and consideration.
