Use readtable or readmatrix. Both functions allow you to specify the starting line of the data.

how will i do it if it is a text file

[Adam Danz]

Those functions are designed to work with text files and other types of files.

Read the documentation, that's why I provided links. There's a bit of a learning curve to using these functions since they have many different options but that's all explained in the documentation along with examples. Walter Roberson's answer shows you how to do this and each of those steps are explained in the links I provided above.

filename = 'https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/592115/D11.csv';
opt = detectImportOptions(filename, 'readvariablenames', false, 'headerlines', 9, 'extracolumnsrule', 'ignore');
t = readtable(filename, opt );
t.Properties.VariableNames = {'X-AXIS', 'Y-AXIS'};

summary(t)

Variables:

    X-AXIS: 2000×1 double

        Values:

            Min             0 
            Median     499.75 
            Max         999.5 

    Y-AXIS: 2000×1 double

        Values:

            Min          -77  
            Median      -0.5
