remove the header while reading from a text file

23 views (last 30 days)
Hi! I am trying to read a text file by the following command:
a= importdata('D:\Input\0518060.txt') ;
The input file (attached) has a header and followed by a matrix of 480x480 elements. How can I remove the header and use the matrix only for the further operation? Thanks in advance.

Use textscan:
fidi = fopen('surjendu 0518060.txt','r');
Datac = textscan(fidi, repmat('%f', 1, 480), 'HeaderLines',1, 'CollectOutput',1);
Data = Datac{1};
The ‘Data’ variable is your (480x480) double array.
