openning ascii file with headers that don't have special characters (#) in front of them

[kevinl]

Hi,

I am trying to load an ascii file that look like :

# Some text
12   0.0E+00
 20  35 -131.658 -121.667   57.333   65.825 0.5000 0.2500

   time(years)=           0.0
   775.545
   761.773
   480.000
   247.591
  1295.091
   401.318

I would like to open that file startting at line 5.
I don't know if load can be used with a specific starting line. 
I tried dlmread :
dlmread('hypsN10.dir/hbhypsNHYPSGRID10.dat',' ',5,3);
but it doesn't work as some data start after 3 spaces and other after 2
spaces.

Thanks
