Reading text file leaving the comment section, extract multiple numerical data from it, and put them in respective variable

At the start of a text file there are few lines of comments with a style "#". After them I have floating point data corresponding to four variables- "serial", "gate_t", "gate_v", "gate_i". All of them (comment and data) are separated by space in the ".txt" file.

As shown in the figure, When I open the file using notepad a sequence of space separated data is seen. But if the file is opened in WordPad, after the "comments" the numerical (floating point) data are shown in columns.

Now i want to read the data only, and store them in respective variables (as seen in the WordPad) for further processing. That is in MATLAB, I want (please see the attached figure)

serial=[1 2 3 4 5 .......]

gate_t=[0.26466 0.42032 0.575914 0.731496 0.887091 .......]

etc.

How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
