Problem with Wavefront read_wobj function to read an .obj file into MATLAB

I am currently using MATLAB R2017a and have installed the Wavefront toolbox. I run read_wobj function to open a .obj 3D file. But everytime the following message is shown:

Reading Object file : nf_6_new_double.obj

I also tried according to the answers in that link. But still the same. Anyone have a solution for this situation? Thanks in advance.

Dont use read_wobj() use readobj(). It take a little longer to extract the data. Once the obj data is extracted using readobj(). I saved the file as a mat file to matlab's current folder using save('OBJ'). If you manage to save it then use the following to read vertices and faces.

load (OBJ.mat)
Vert = OBJ.v;
Fac  = OBJ.f.v;
