Best Answer

You should use TEXTREAD with the 'heaerlines' parameter set to the number of lines (e.g. 3) that characterizes your header.
For example:
 >> [id,temp,press] = textread('myData.txt', '%f %f %f', 'headerlines', 3)
 id =
     1
     2
    10
 temp =
   23.0000
   12.4000
   22.4000
 press =
    5.3300
    6.0700
   64.0700
