extracting only number from text file

Hi,
I have a large text file which has data in below format
frame_count: 1, frame_type: p, mv_dst: (8, 8), mv_src: (8, 8), mv_type: f, motion: (0, 0, 4), mb: (16, 16)
frame_count: 1, frame_type: p, mv_dst: (24, 8), mv_src: (24, 8), mv_type: f, motion: (0, 0, 4), mb: (16, 16)
and so on.
I want to extract the value of mv_dst,mv_src and first two numbers of value motion and store in a matrix in below format
frame_count: 1, frame_type: p, mv_dst: (8, 8), mv_src: (8, 8), mv_type: f, motion: (0, 0, 4), mb: (16, 16)
Matrix should have value like this
first matrix with value from mv_dst(8,8) and first value from motion motion: (0, 0, 4) [ 0 in this case]
x_vec y_vec motion
8 8 0
second matrix with value from mv_src(8,8) and second value from motion :motion: (0, 0, 4) [ 0 in this case]
x_vec y_vec motion
8 8 0

How about the following?
% Read the original text file
c = readcell('data.txt','Delimiter','\n');
% Extract coordinates from each line
cData = regexp(c,'\d+,\s+\d+(,\s+\d+)*','match');
cData = vertcat(cData{:});
% Arrange the numbers
mv_dst = str2double(split(cData(:,1),','));
mv_src = str2double(split(cData(:,2),','));
motion = str2double(split(cData(:,3),','));
% 1st and 2nd matrix
T1 = array2table([mv_dst,motion(:,1)],'VariableNames',{'x_vec','y_vec','motion'});
T2 = array2table([mv_src,motion(:,2)],'VariableNames',{'x_vec','y_vec','motion'});

I am getting below error
error using vertcat
Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent.
Error in ffmpeg_motion_vectors (line 14)
cData = vertcat(cData{:});
Perhaps the problem is with regexp expression
If your data file is similar to the attached 'data.txt', the code should work.
I think this error was caused by some anomaly in your data file.
So, if possible, could you upload your data file which generate the error ?
Hello Akira,
The file itself is too large to attach even after zipping. I have extracted motion vectors using FFmpeg in a text file. So it has motion vectors for every position in every frame. There are around 5000 frames in my video file. I am attching the data for 1st frame that is being extracted.
I tested myself with this text.txt and the above code works fine its only when using the whole file that i get the error.I have attched the file. Could you please take a look
Hi Arya-san,
Thank you for sharing the file. But, unfortunately, I could not unzip the file. Could you upload the file (original file or newly zipped file) again?
