MATLAB: Text import – number of rows

text file

Hi, I have the following code to read in a bunch of data from a textfile as shown below. In this example, the number of rows is 5. But, I don't always know the number of rows, so I want the code to read all the rows and calculate how many automatically. Anyone know how to?
    n=5;
    filename1='import.asc'
    fid = fopen(filename1);
    Q{i,1}=textscan(fid,'%u %f %f %f %f %f %f',n,'headerlines',rad(i)+4);
    fclose(fid);
