Reading data from a specified point in a file

Hi All,

Given data in a text file that looks like the following

LAX2; LAX3; -; -; "6 7"; "2 4"; -; -; 10;

LAX1; LAX2; -; -; "7 8"; "2 4"; -; -; 10;

here

LAX1; LAX2; -; -; "7 8"; "2 4"; -; -; 10;

LAX4; -; -; -; "1 8"; "2 4"; -; -; 10;

LAX2; LAX3; -; -; "3 6"; "2 8"; -; -; 200;

I'd like to read from next line with data after the occurrence of 'here'. I'd also like to read one line at time. There are always 9 distinct pieces of data on each line.

Could someone tell me how to do this?

Thank you for your help!

clc
fid=fopen('test.txt','rt');
line=fgetl(fid);
while ~feof(fid) && ~any(strfind(line,'here')) 
    line=fgetl(fid);
end
while ~feof(fid)
    line=fgetl(fid)
    % do stuff
end
fclose(fid);
