Is there any good solution other than the following commands?

input:

load gnuplot_data_file.txt
# if you want divide a matrix into vectors
for k=1:size(gnuplot_data_file,2)
   cmd = sprintf('var%d = gnuplot_data_file(:,k);', k);
   eval(cmd);
end


output:

comment = ["# your comments on data"; "# you can give many lines"; "# ...
like this"];
save -ascii gnuplot_data_file.txt comment your_data;
