textscan() has a 'CommentStyle' option. See <https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/textscan.html#btghhyz-1_sep_shared-CommentStyle>
For example, specify a character such as '%' to ignore text following the symbol on the same line. Specify a cell array of two character vectors, such as {'/*','*/'}, to ignore any text between those sequences.
