Take my code and use writematrix or xlswrite to write the data variable to an xlsx file.

>> rgx = '([-+]?\d+\.?\d*([eE][-+]?\d+)?)';
>> str = fileread('tem-001.txt');
>> tkn = regexp(str,[rgx,'\s+',rgx],'tokens');
>> mat = str2double(vertcat(tkn{:}))
mat =
0.025788 0.0045471

filename = 'tem-001.txt';
S = fileread(filename);
SS = strjoin( regexp(S, '^\s*-?\d.*$', 'match', 'lineanchors', 'dotexceptnewline'), '\n');
data = cell2mat(textscan(SS, '%f%f'));

That is Stephen's code.
rgx is assigned a pattern that will match floating point numbers with optional decimal place and optional exponent. However the pattern misses the possibility of a decimal number with no leading digits before the period.
The assignment to str reads the content of the file all at once and puts it into the variable.
The next line creates a pattern of one number representation followed by whitespace followed by another number representation. Then it searches the content of the file returning the characters that match the patterns.
The matched parts are put together into columns and passed to str2double to convert to numeric.
The workings of patterns for regular expressions is too large a topic for now. There is a file exchange contribution that helps explore regular expressions. The finer points of regular expressions can be pretty tricky.
