title: Importing text files with comments in MATLAB
body: <p>Is there any character or character combination that MATLAB interprets as comments, when importing data from text files? Being that when it detects it at the beginning of a line, will know all the line is to ignore?</p>
  
  <p>I have a set of points in a file that look like this:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pAMIX.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pAMIX.png" alt="alt text"></a>
  
  And as you can see he doesn't seem to understand them very well. Is there anything other than // I could use that MATLAB knows it's to ignore?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
