MATLAB: Using FGETL to skip 2 header lines

Question

How do I use FGETL to skip 2 header lines?

My data file looks like this

Row 1: ID FName LName Year Class

Row 2: ———————————

Row 3: data starts here

After I open the file with FOPEN

fid=fopen('textfile.dat','r');

How do I use FGETL to skip the 2 header lines (rows 1 & 2)?

Thanks in advance.
