Please post a sample of the actual file, instead of just a picture of it.
One thing I notice is that your picture uses blanks between the columns, but you are using comma as the column delimiter.

filename='USt37.dat';
fid = fopen(filename, 'rt');
data = cell2mat( textscan(fid, '%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 3, 'CollectOutput', 1) );
fclose(fid)
