Dear All,
I have many files with a lot of headers and text at the beginning of the file. The headers are not uniform though and they contain different sizes Is there a way where I can read a table and skip all of the headers/text on top of it until I encounter a certain text pattern? Here is an example. I just want to read the table after the ~A. ~Version Information VERS. 2.00: CWLS log ASCII Standard -VERSION 2.00 WRAP.
