reading only a portion of a text file

I would like to read in a text file that contains a header and footer of information, where the number of rows of the header/footer, and number of rows to read can vary.
Here is an example of a row of data I would like to read from the text file.
All rows start with the ARR++ and are delineated with ':' I now I need i most likely need to use fopen / fprintf / fget1 / textscan but hoping someone can help set this up.
One other thing with the rows of data I would like to read in, there is date information like: 2013320133. I would ideally like to read only the first 5 digits of that date and separate the year and quarter into separate columns -- 20133 --> 2013 3
Here is a better example of the type of file I would like to read in. I am only interested in the ARR++ lines. I would be interested to have only the first 5 digits of 2013420134. Thanks a lot.

In the past 6 hours, have you at least given fgetl() or textscan() a try ? Or do you really really need us to do it 100% for you?

OK Jeff I did it for you. It just took a couple of minutes. I copied the data you gave to a test.dat file. Then I wrote code to read it in using fgetl() and search for lines that start with "ARR++Q:S:C:A:1N:" based on code I got in the help for fgetl. Then I extracted the 5 numerical characters from the string and converted it to a double number. Here is the code for you:
fid = fopen('test.dat');
tline = fgetl(fid);
k = 1; % Counter for lines that are valid.
while ischar(tline)
disp(tline)
colonLocation = strfind(tline, 'ARR++Q:S:C:A:1N:');
if ~isempty(colonLocation)
subString = tline(17:21);
output(k) = str2double(subString);
k = k + 1;
end
tline = fgetl(fid);
end
fclose(fid);
% Print output to command window:
output
Results in the command window:
output =
20134 20134 20134 20134 20134 20134 20134 20134

Just add a line
outputStrings{k} = tline;
to save the entire line also.

Hi again Image,
I have to admit I wasn't successful using your code; not sure why but I don't get any output returned.
ANYWAYS you forced me to keep playing around and 1 day later :) I think i figured out a nice solution. My goal (for no particular reason but for just learning purposes) was to create a generic function that will trim out the header and footer of any file, take the remaining rows needed and then "text - to - column" the data taking only the columns needed and replacing the 10 digit date with only 5 digits.
