Since you have not attached any sample file, I am giving you an example with a attached file.

A=importdata('sample.txt');
A.data

Thanks @ANKUR KUMAR for your reply, but still I am facing the problem cause the headers for 4 columns while data for 6 columns and 8 columns sometimes

[ANKUR KUMAR]

Please attach your .txt file.

here is the file, thanks once again

Try this one.

clc
clear
for kk=2:7
    fid=fopen('df.dat');
    C = textscan(fid,'%s',1,'delimiter','\n', 'headerlines',kk-1);
    C1{kk-1}=strsplit(char(C{1}),' ')
    id(kk-1)=length(C1{kk-1});
end
for i=1:length(C1)
    C1{i}(length(C1{i})+1:max(id))={''};  %added +1 after length(C1{i})
end
C2=cat(1,C1{:})

If you wish to store in matrix, then put 0 and then convert to matix

for i=1:length(C1)
    C1{i}(length(C1{i})+1:max(id))={'0'}; %added +1 after length(C1{i})
end
C2=str2double(cat(1,C1{:}))

@ANKUR KUMAR wow you are great.. I really appreciate your kind support,, thanks a lot

[ANKUR KUMAR]

Updated the previous answer. Updated commands are:

   C1{i}(length(C1{i})+1:max(id))={''};

and

C1{i}(length(C1{i})+1:max(id))={'0'};

I forgot to add 1 after length(C1{i}).

Sorry for the inconvenience.
