Others may have a better solution, but because of the varying delimiters I think you may have a better time with just loading the file in as a string, and using regexp to break the string into different parts.

fid = fopen(['tempCpData.txt']);
A   = fread(fid, Inf, 'uint8=>char');
fclose(fid);
Fmt = repmat('%02X ', 1, 16);  % Create format string
Fmt(end) = '*';                % Trailing star
S   = sprintf(Fmt, A);         % One long string
C   = regexp(S, '*', 'split'); % Split at stars

Some of this stuff is fairly specific to a different database I was working with, but it should give you an idea of how to get started.
