load a file with varing number of columns in matlab

I need to load a file with a not fixed number of columns in matlab, skipping the first 2 lines and the last one.

350GLU      N 3475 -11.747  -2.990  -0.626
350GLU      H 3476 -11.792  -2.965  -0.541
350GLU     CA 3477 -11.605  -3.015  -0.625
..........................................
1441LEU      C14823 -12.241  -9.504  -2.663
1441LEU      O14824 -12.316  -9.586  -2.714
14.31797  21.41320   9.79756

does anyone know how to do that? both textscan and fscanf looks like they need the number of columns specified in advance.

Thanks

You can use the dlmread command. So you could do something like

data = dlmread('myDataFile.txt', '\t', [startRow startCol endRow endCol]);

Hope this helps!
