Your text file does not seem to have obvious lines.

Have you looked at fgetl & fgets?

Newer, more powerful functions like textscan exist, but usually there needs to be some predictable structure to use them effectively.

textscan or fscanf or strtok might be useful to parse the lines once you have them.
