Opening text document and sending the info over serial port

I have a text document, called transition.txt, that has this inside it.
L,R,D’,B,U,D,F’,R,B’,L’,B2,R,F2,D2,F,L’,U2,L,U2,L,B2,L’,B2,L2,U2,L2,R2,U2,B2,U2
I need to send it to my arduino. Not sure what the code should do on the Matlab side. Also, how would I make sure the information got to the arduino in the way I wanted it to?

Here is my arduino code.
const size_t maxCommandNumber = 50;
const size_t maxCommandSize = 3 * maxCommandNumber; // if commands fit on 2 characters and a comma, this is enough for maxCommandNumber commands
char receivedChars[maxCommandSize + 1]; // +1 for trailing null char required by cStrings
const char endMarker = ‘n’;

void func_L(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_Lp(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_L2(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_R(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_Rp(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_R2(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_D(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_Dp(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_D2(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_B(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_Bp(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_B2(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_U(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_Up(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
void func_U2(const char* s) {Serial.print(F("in Function ")); Serial.println(s);}
