function equation = importfile(filename, dataLines)
%IMPORTFILE Import data from a text file
%  EQUATION = IMPORTFILE(FILENAME) reads data from text file FILENAME
%  for the default selection.  Returns the data as a table.
%
%  EQUATION = IMPORTFILE(FILE, DATALINES) reads data for the specified
%  row interval(s) of text file FILENAME. Specify DATALINES as a
%  positive scalar integer or a N-by-2 array of positive scalar integers
%  for dis-contiguous row intervals.
%
%  Example:
%  equation = importfile("/Users/ali.kishk/Desktop/ISB/COVID19/equation.txt", [1, Inf]);
