If your file contains data like this
hello23,hi10
hello24,hi11
hello25,hi12
....
You can combine read and replacement commands as
strrep(textread('MyFile.txt','%s'),',',' ')
It will return cell array having strings without ','

textread() is considered obsolete and will probably be removed from the language soon. textscan() is its replacement.

As I understood, you want to remove the comma(,) from the string. You can do it by
str='hello23,hi10';
newstr=strrep(str,',',' ');
%OR
str=strrep(str,',',' ');

fid = fopen('new.txt','rt');
datacell = textscan('%s%s', 'delimiter', ',', 'CollectOutput', 1);
fclose(fid);
char(strcat(datacell{1}(:,1), ' ', datacell{1}(:,2)))
