Omer,

This isn’t a GNU Radio question. We don’t really do Matlab support on  
this  
mailing list. I’m sure there’s some information about how to do this  
elsewhere.

If you want to load files into Matlab which you saved for example  
through a  
file sink, you can do that via the command fread. Check the  
documentation of  
it. For the correspondences between Matlab and GNU Radio Type, compare  
the  
fread documentation and this site of J.Blum:
