How to import variable names and specific data range (comma separated values) from a .txt file?

Hi guys,
I read lots of similar questions but I cannnot solve the problem. I've downloaded Earth ephemerides from NASA JPL website(attached to this question there is the .txt file) and I need to extract only variable names line (row 23) and data from row 26 up to 29.
I want to avoid Matlab tool "import data", but rather I woulde prefer to use something like ""readtable" or similar. I tried to use readtable but I've troubles.
I tried to code something like that but it seems to not take the right lines.
clc; clear all; close all
% Ephemerides
file_name = 'Earth-Moon_sys_ephem_at_ast_epochs.txt';
opts = detectImportOptions(file_name)
opts.DataLines = [26, 29];
opts.VariableNamesLine = 34;
opts.VariableNames
opts.VariableTypes = ["double", "string", "double", "double", "double", "double", "double",...
"double", "double", "double", "double","double","double","double"];
EM_sys_eph = readtable(file_name ,opts)

Make sure you specify the delimiter and (start) Range for DETECTIMPORTOPTIONS:
file_name = 'Earth-Moon_sys_ephem_at_ast_epochs.txt';
opts = detectImportOptions(file_name, 'Range',26, 'Delimiter',',');
opts.DataLines = [26,29];
opts.VariableNamesLine = 23;
opts.VariableTypes = ["double", "string", repmat("double",1,12)];
opts.VariableNamingRule = 'preserve';
EM_sys_eph = readtable(file_name, opts)
EM_sys_eph = 4×14 table

@Stephen sorry, I missed something on my first attempt code. On my Matlab I get the output I attached in my first edited comment.

If it works on your version, then:
  • go for it, use it
  • keep in mind that it might not work on other versions or OSs
The function READTABLE et al are being developed continuously, and can give different outputs for different versions (as we can see on this forum). Only you can decide if that is important for your work or not.

try this:
A=readtable('Earth-Moon_sys_ephem_at_ast_epochs.txt','delimiter','tab');
B=table2cell(A(20,:));
parameter=split(B,',')';
C=table2cell(A(23:26,:));
data=split(C,',');
output=[parameter;data]
