.mlv and .mat files

Question

Hi,
I am running a code in a Mathscript node and saving some variables at the end of the execution in a file (.mlv).
I understand that these file format is exclusive to Mathscript, but is there someway I can convert this to a .mat file so that it can be stored in a database and used with MATLAB later whenever needed?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Chintan

Hi Grant,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried the data analysis offline. While saving it in .mlv it saves all the variables perfectly. I tried using csvwrite and dlmwrite as well, but they just write random number instead of the variables I specify in the syntax.
Here is the code I am using. The saving part at the bottom is what is bugging me. Everything else works fine. Please suggest another way to do this.
Thanks,
Chintan
