Question on Reading lines from text file.

Hi,

I have the following data in the txt file:

2 34 5 6 7 8
34 56 77 12 3
11 34 55 66 89 1
12 34 55 67 8 1
45 67 8 1 2 14
23 45 1 2 8 9

I want to read my file from third line to 5th line and save it in a matrix say A. That is A should be:

A = 11 34 55 66 89 1
    12 34 55 67 8 1
    45 67 8 1 2 14

I can do this if I have to read my lines from the start to a specified number of lines using fopen and fgetl ...however, I cant figure out how to do this for the above situation. Please Help!

fid=fopen('file.txt')
for k=1:2
  fgetl(fid);
end
A=zeros(3,6)
for k=1:3
  A(k,:)=str2num(fgetl(fid))
end
fclose(fid)
