Because your file has lines that change so much from one line to the next, you're going to have to read it with fgetl() and then examine the string to find out what kind of string it is. Maybe you can do that by counting commas, colons, and slashes. Then once you know what kind of string it is, you can use a sscanf() or textscan() with the proper format string to extract the numbers, times, dates, and strings out of it.
