textscan() with headerlines 2 and a repeat count of 153. And put all that in a loop until you process as much of the file as you want

could you please generate the matlab code for this action

I will not be at my keyboard for a number of hours. It should be easy to find from the textscan documents. But we would need to know the format of the 153 lines to give a complete solution
