I want to import this dat file with name 'B00050.dat' with the 'VARIABLES' titles as a header, above the 4 columns of numbers below withouth the 'ZONE T. Could you please guide me to the right matlab commands to use so far i've got the following
filename= 'B00050.dat'; 
 M= dlmread(filename);
there's a lot more needed, but not sure as my matlab skills are not adequate . Thanks
