How to read a specific row of data using Textscan

Hello,

I am trying to use textscan to import a specific row of data from an ascii file. The data in the ascii file is organized as such:

I would only like to import the column headers in row 12, but only columns 2-11 (columns B-K). Below is the code I have started, but I am getting confused on how to use textscan to get the specific row of data I want. Any help would be appreciated.

fid = fopen('filelocation');

if fid == -1

disp('Error, check file location')

else

c = textscan(fid,'%s %s %s');

end

fclose(fid);

Try this. See the documentation of the textscan to understand these statements.

f = fopen('test.txt');

columns = textscan(f, '%s', 12, 'HeaderLines', 11);
columns = columns{1}(2:11);

fclose(f);
