How can I convert a .txt file to .mat file?

I have a one dimensional input of floating point values which should be converted to a .mat file. How can i do it?

Example 0.453 0.987 0.7675 0.3478 0.1256 etc....

Is there a possibility of converting it to a .mat file? The .mat file should be usable in simulink.

Error using save Must be a string scalar or character vector.

Error in demo (line 59) save('moni_7.mat', mydata);
