to save number of .txt files back after process

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with my data.
.txt files with first fives lines
starting with # and all other lines digits.
i am using

data1=textread(longefilename,'','commentstyle','shell');

to load data ignoring five lines starting with # but
losing original format of .txt files which i need after
processing numeric data.
So i am able to load number of .txt files into matlab
can accesss required data and process.

so my questions are.

1. how i can process data without losing original format.
2. how i can save data back after processing data.

Thanks for guidance.

Instead of using commentstyle, use headerlines. Oh, and instead
of textread(), use textscan() if your Matlab supports it.
