1st you need to import your .txt file from the drop down menu by clicking file on upper corner of your matlab window. Then A = data(:,1); reads 1st coulmn and B=data(:,2); data is the name of .txt file

Answer 2

Data = importdata('<txt filename>');

Column1 = Data(:,1);

Column2 = Data(:,2);

You can also create your own script by putting these command into it OR you can directly use these command by keeping your file into Matlab current directory.
