I am trying to have Matlab read a .unv file (which is seems to open just fine and treats as a .txt) and gather data. An example from the first part of the file is as follows:

The first 11 lines are not really very pertinent to me at this point. I have decoded this output to the point where I know "1716" indicates the beginning of material property definitions. In this file there is only one material, but in other files there can be a whole bunch, each preceded by the "1716".
I would like to be able to at this point ignore the first 11 lines, and then have Matlab store material property data, but since I don't know how many materials will be present, I need to recognize the value "1716" and if it appears, read in a new material.
The number "2420" at the very end also indicates a different kind of dataset (of unknown length) so eventually I would like to just search through the document for these markers and save the data in arrays and such based on them.
I have played with textscan but am having trouble ... thoughts?
