%% STEP 3: IMPLEMENT YOUR CUSTOM FILE READING FUNCTION
function data = MyFileReader(fileInfoTbl)
% create a reader object using FileName
reader = matlab.io.datastore.DsFileReader(fileInfoTbl.FileName);

% seek to the offset
seek(reader,fileInfoTbl.Offset,'Origin','start-of-file');

% read fileInfoTbl.SplitSize amount of data
data = read(reader,fileInfoTbl.SplitSize);
