importing text file using uigetfile

I'm trying to open text file using uigetfile with the data like this

and code like this

[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.txt', 'Open file .txt');
if isequal(filename, 0) || isequal(pathname, 0)
    disp('File input canceled.');
else
    data = fopen(filename,'r');
end;

anyone who can help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you

[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.txt', 'Open file .txt');
if isequal(filename, 0)
    disp('File input canceled.');
else
    filename = fullfile(pathname, filename);
    [fid, msg] = fopen(filename,'r');
    if fid < 0
       error('Failed to open file "%s" because "%s"', filename, msg);
    end
    %at this point, do whatever it is you were going to do with the file
    %identifier
end

I would suggest, though, that it would be easier to use

[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.txt', 'Open file .txt');
if isequal(filename, 0)
    disp('File input canceled.');
else
    filename = fullfile(pathname, filename);
    data = readmatrix(filename, 'headerlines', 2);
end
