For a trivial implementation,

You can open the file, scan each line for the character " * " (using 'contains' function) and proceed to display the lines with no " * "

file = fopen('aaaaaaaaaaa.txt');
line = fgetl(file);
while ischar(line)
     if contains(line,'*') == 0
        disp(line)
     end
    line = fgetl(file);
end
fclose(file);

Based on the input you provided, the output of the code will be:

dafdasdfasdfsdfa
1.2.2.23.4.5.
3.3.45.t.
.g.g.f.g.h.

A more robust implementation would be to use textscan function.
