I have following problem: I want to read data from text file. The file is organized in such a wy, that in its first two lines there is some description, next are some lines with numbers, next two lines of comments, numbers, comments, etc. How can I skip these two line texts ? I know that it may be silly question, but after some playing with input procedures of octave I do not know any idea how to solve the problem. Thanks in advance With regards Krzysztof
