I want to read text file with string in the middle of file

I want to read the number in separate column in the text file. How can I do that ? I want to skip the first line and read file until line 200 and skip line 201 and read 202 ... and do this until the end of the file.I will be thankful if anyone can help.

nColumn = 3;
nLine   = 200;
fid = fopen(FileName, 'r');
if fid == -1, error('Cannot open file: %s', FileName); end
DataC = {};
while ~feof(fid)
  fgetl(fid);  % Skip one line;
  try
    DataC{end+1} = sscanf(fid, '%g', [nColumn, nLine]).';
  catch
  end
end
fclose(fid);
Data = cat(1, DataC{:});
