How can I make a line be ignored by importdata?

I have a txt file as input. It has a few lines which I don't want to use in my script. Is there anything I can do with the input file, not with the matlab script, to be ignored by importdata?

Read about textscan you can specify header lines there which ignores the lines. Or if your data is complete numerical, load it using load and skip the numbers you want.
