I created a txt-file from a table (139x39) which contains some blanks. The data is separated by commas as delimiter. Unfortunately in the resulting file, commas also separate the blanks:

%underneath this are another 100 rows with data in the same format as the previous row
Ideally, the content of the file should look like this - any idea how to do this?
Also if someone knows a trick on how to remove the double-quotes in line 2, that would be much appreciated.

You could read in the file and use strrep() to replace each ,, with , until there are no ,, left. Basically (untested)
fid = fopen(filename, 'rt');
fidOut = fopen(outputFileName, 'wt')
textLine = fgetl(fid);
while ischar(textLine)
while contains(textLine, ',,')
textLine = strrep(textLine, ',,', ',');
end
% Now write out
fprintf(fidOut, '%s\n', textLine);
% Now read in the next line.
textLine = fgetl(fid);
end
fclose(fid);
fclose(fidOut);

You can get rid of trailing comma like this
if endsWith(textLine, ',')
% textLine ends with a comma. Strip it off.
textLine = textLine(1:end-1);
end
You might look at Stephen's code. It's more compact, though more cryptic if you don't know how to construct regular expressions.

Regular expressions make this easy (removes all trailing commas, removes the double quotes, and leaves the newlines unchanged):
str = fileread('test.txt')
str = regexprep(str,{',+(\s*\n)','"([^\n"]+)"'},'$1')
[fid,msg] = fopen('test_new.txt','w');
assert(fid>=3,msg)
fprintf(fid,'%s',str)
fclose(fid);
