aaa 10 test 20
bbb 11 test1 21
ccc 12 test2 22
I have this data in a file .txt and I want to read the file.
I tried the following code but it is not working as I want to:
fid = fopen('test','r');
testData = fscanf(fid, '%s %d %s %d',[2 inf]);
fclose(fid);

Use readtable or readcell, depending on what you want. There are other options (textscan), however those two are easiest to use and will likely do what you want.
Consider using the 'HeaderLines' name-value pair with readtable.

it doesn't work because there is the first line that I don't want to read it.
How I can skip it ?
I used fscanf because I saw that I can start by the number of line I want
