# Importing from txt

I have the below txt file and I want to import it in mathematica, to kick the headers and keep a neat 2 column table or matrix for ploting.

Since I am new in mathematica I have trouble with finding the way to do it.

If you have any suggestions I would be grateful.

Thank you!

One possibility

SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]];
data=Import["input.txt","CSV"];


Now pull the numeric data out

data=Cases[data,{x_?NumericQ,y_?NumericQ}:>{x,y}])


ListLinePlot[data,Mesh->Full,MeshStyle->Red,Frame->True,
FrameLabel->{{"y(x)",None},{"x","My data"}},
GridLines->Automatic,GridLinesStyle->LightGray,BaseStyle->14]
