How to plot selective data?

I have some data in the following form, outputted from a different computer program:
(That is, 3 separate columns of data...continuing on for 1000 rows) I am wondering how to create a plot with JUST the first and second columns, or first and third columns, of data--seeing as doing this manually would take forever. How do I arrange these data such that they're in matrices that are readable for MATLAB? Thanks much in advance!

If A is your matrix
plot(A(:,1),A(:,2))
%or
plot(A(:,1),A(:,3))
If your data are in a text file you can read it:
A=dlmread('yourfilename.txt')

What exactly is the problem? Are these data written to a file and you are looking for the fscanf command to read them? Does dlmread as suggested by Azzi work or not?
