how to create a Matrix from a dat file

Attach below is my output(pfoutput.dat) file.
First i will like to have my codes recognize the bus number of my system. 14 for example as in the case below in row 1.
Secondly i will like my code to start reading or skip 5 lines after the stored line (***************power flow report*************) which is row 16.
Lastly i will like my codes to read only the rows start with "1,2,3...,14" skipping all row starting with "To-Bus" to produce a matrix of n rows and 7 columns , where n= number of bus system.
thanks for your help and time in advance

Can you attach your file?
here it is . i think i did attach it above also.
I mean the actual pfoutput.dat, not a screenshot of the file.
i had to rename the file from .dat to .text in other to upload here
You can use textscan for reading the data.
