% Split the line by tab and convert to numbers

disp(data_matrix)
- The file is opened with fopen, and the script reads the file line by line.
- A flag data_section_started is used to determine when the [DATA] section has started.
- Each line of numbers is appended to a cell array data as a numeric array.
- After all data is read, the cell array is concatenated into a matrix with vertcat.
This script assumes that your data is well-formed (all rows have the same number of columns) and that the data is separated by tabs or spaces. If the data is not uniform or if the file uses a different delimiter, you might need to adjust the str2num line accordingly.
