Please post a sample of the actual file, instead of just a picture of it.

One thing I notice is that your picture uses blanks between the columns, but you are using comma as the column delimiter.

   filename='USt37.dat'; 
   fid = fopen(filename, 'rt');
   data = cell2mat( textscan(fid, '%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 3, 'CollectOutput', 1) );
   fclose(fid)
