How do i skip the first 4 rows and create a diagram from the values?

I want to make diagrams from all these values and ignore the definitions in the first 4 rows.

This is what I have so far.

fid=fopen('OG.txt','rt')
M = dlmread('OG.txt',';')
for i=1:4, fgetl(fid),end
A=fscanf(fid,'%f',[4,inf])';
fclose(fid)
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(A(:,1), A(:,3), A(:,1), A(:,4))
legend('obs1','obs2')
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(A(:,1), A(:,2))

skipping the first 4 rows... rather than use the colon operator (':') by itself... use ('5:end')

for example

a = 1:8;
a(5:end) % = [5 6 7 8]

The ':' by itself is the same as '1:end', i.e. a(:)==a(1:end)

Reading in the data you will probably have an easier time with the 'textscan' function. You can specify delimiters (';' in your case). As your first few lines aren't marked with a symbol to show that they're comments/heading... you'll probably have to load all the data and then remove the first 4 rows.
