Import of log files created by Presentation

This function imports log files created by Presentation into MATLAB for analysis.

You are now following this Submission

After import the function creates two struct variables that contain all the data in a nicely ordered way. For every column in the log file a field entry with the same name is created.

The output variables are either a vector of structs (one entry per line in the log file) or a struct that contains vectors in each field. This makes it easy and hopefully flexible enough for everyone to start the analysis using MATLAB.
