Please help write a script to display the first line of this text file using fgetl

I am very new to matlab so please explain it assuming I don't know very much about it. Thanks in advance. Here is the first few lines of the text file, I would like "Header Lines = 15" to be displayed. It would also be great if you could show me how to pull up other specific lines in the file!

Header Lines = 15
Tilt Illusion Experiment
Subject Number      = 1
Target Contrast     = 0.50
Flanker Contrast    = 0.50

fid=fopen('yourfile.txt')
line=fgetl(fid)
fclose(fid)

You just need to use FOPEN to create a file handle, and then each call to FGETL on that handle will read a line of text. Here's code that will keep calling FGETL until the end of the file is reached:

fid = fopen('myfile.txt','r');
while ~feof(fid)
    line = fgetl(fid);
    disp(line);
end
fclose(fid);

Be sure to call FCLOSE when you are done with the file.

Thanks! I understand the code which is great. I need to only display the first line, what would the code be for that?
