This function allows you "reorganizing" (sorting out) the data of the Sentaurus .plt files into column data with the name of the variables.
Just run the function inside the folder where your .plt files are located and all of them will be automatically converted in .txt files readable by software like Excel, Origin etc...
Notice that if you stop/abort the simulation in Synopsys, the end bracket "}" will be missing in the plt file(s) and needs to be added manually. I will treat this point in the next version.

Version Published Release Notes
3.0.0.0

I noticed that the conversion of the .plt files was very slow (and it got worst with matlab 2016).
So, I developed a more efficient and simple matlab code (which considers a read-by-line with 'getl' approach rather than a global one with 'textscan').
