Reading a matrix from a .txt file

Good morning everyone. I'm trying to import in matlab a matrix from a text file. In my file, there are only two columns of values, separated by a single space. Here I report the first two rows of the file:

("Time Step" "Vertex Average X Velocity")

439 -0.1588049829006195

440 -0.157896234563214

I tried to import the matrix through

readmatrix('myfile.txt')

but I ony obtain

ans =

   NaN
   NaN
   NaN
   

But if I put a comma between the two columns, Matlab reads the matrix correctly. Is there a way to import this matrix without putting commas between every column?

what happens if you try this:

readmatrix('myfile.txt', 'delimiter', ' ')

Hi, thanks for the reply, it actually works! Here it is the result

ans =

          439      -0.1588
          440      -0.1579
          

Thanks again!
