If it is not on MATLAB path, you can still read it by specifying the correct Absolute or relative paths. For example, the following uses an absolute path
dlmread('C:\{path_to_folder}\ann.txt')
Where 'C:' is the drive in which folder is located. Similarly, on Mac or Linux, you will need respective absolute paths.

dlmread() can't read non-numeric data. In your file, the first column contains dates. For you case, more appropriate is
data = readtable('an.txt')
