You can use regexp to match the sampling value. The expression below assumes that the character "E" is followed by a "-" character.
text = fileread('20171109_144634_14306_6O61N2.txt');
[match] = regexp(text,'(\d*\.\d*E-\d*)','match');
sampling = str2double(match{1});
sampling =
0.0050

what is the difference between your solution and
text = fileread('20171109_144634_14306_6O61N2.txt');
timevar=text(191:203)

If for some reason your time information changes position in the text file, text(191:203) will fail to extract that information. The regex pattern will find the data anywhere in the file.
