MATLAB: Extracting numbers with different decimal extention

decimalextraction

Hi! I have a line in my file:
OutputY:  35,40  50  57,80  57  54,71  58,73  61,01  61,67  60,02  57,57  57,51  61,11  64,55  67,74  68,31  66,26  60,52  60,47  62,29  43,38
There some numbers have 2 decimal places and some numbers don't have it at all. When I use:
A1 = regexp(TRGT_a,'[\d*\.]*\d*','match') %TRGT_a is my variable with many columns like OutputY
it sees every number separately and instead of 20 values with decimal extension, I have 38 values… I would appreciate if you could help me to solve this? Also I will have to change all comas to fulstops to do further calculations.
Thank you in advance!

>> S = 'OutputY:        35,40   50      57,80   57      54,71   58,73   61,01   61,67   60,02   57,57   57,51   61,11   64,55   67,74   68,31   66,26   60,52   60,47   62,29   43,38';
>> C = regexp(S,'\d+,?\d*','match');
>> V = str2double(strrep(C,',','.'))
V =
   35.400   50.000   57.800   57.000   54.710   58.730   61.010   61.670   60.020   57.570   57.510   61.110   64.550   67.740   68.310   66.260   60.520   60.470   62.290   43.380
