Butterworth filtering as reading

Hello, so, I already know how to implement a Butterworth filter and use it for some stored data. However, now I will have some data comming in my computer by network and I would like to filter it as I am receving it, in order to be able to process it online. This seems quite easy in simulink, but I do not know how to do it in matlab code. The function request to have a signal of at least 6 samples, so my only idea is to create a buffer with the last 5 samples, take the incomming one (6th), and filter the buffer... any other idea would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Can you tell me how to implement Butterworth filter and use it for some stored data?Actually, i have generated the code using filter design and analysis toolbox by setting all the frequencies and order and generated the code but I am not able to understand how to apply that function for my stored data?
