            I want to import a text file into MATLAB. I want MATLAB to ignore the first 3 lines, detect the 4th line as header, and identify data from the 6th row on. How can it be done?
filename		
date		
var1	var2	var3
abc1	100	abc1
abc2	200	abc2

Of course: simply specify the appropriate options with READTABLE().
If you have any further questions, make sure that you upload a sample data file by clicking the paperclip button.
