load txt file

so I have a txt file containing data like this

1st row 1 2 3 2nd row 4 5 6 3rd row 7 8 9

I want to load the data in a loop it will read the values in the row eg. a=1 b=2 c=3

and subsequently load the 2nd row and the 3rd row.

how do I do this?

FID = fopen(FileName, 'r');
while ~feof(FID)
  Line = fgetl(FID);
  if ischar(Line)
    D = sscanf(Line, '%g');
    a = D(1);
    b = D(2);
    c = D(3);
    ... % The calulations here
  end
end
