How do I import a txt file with the white spaces

I have to edit a .22 file and change one of the columns. It is pretty much a text file with a matrix. It is parsed with a comma as a delimiter. However I want to retrieve the values in between the commas while maintaining the white space between the commas. So when I export the matrix after I've changed it, it will be the exact same with one changed column.

A = readlines('fort.22');
Now A{6} would be the 6th line, and you could use text processing on it in any way you like, including extracting from fixed character positions, calculating something, and replacing those fixed character positions using a careful format.
However... when I look at your code, it looks more likely that you want to change column 6, rather than row 6. It does not make a lot of difference though.
