feof to loop through lines of data?

Hey, so i'm supposed to have a file called xypts with data like below where everything is spaced one apart.

z 0 y 1
z 4.6 y 2.2
z 6.8 y 6
z 8.1 y 7.4

I have to use a while loop and fgetl to read each line as a string. In the loop, it creates z and y vectors for the data points. It will loop until the end of the file is reached. The number of points should be in the plot title.

OK. Good luck with that. There are examples in the help for fgetl() and sscanf() to help you.

I must've deleted the rest of my question on accident... but I was wondering why my feof was only giving me one data point, and then I figured it out. I just had to add a counter, n.

Here is my code:

clear all; clc
fid=fopen('xypts.csv');
n=1;
if fid== -1
    disp('File open not successful')
else
    while feof(fid)==0

          aline=fgetl(fid);
          string = strsplit(aline);
          zvec(n)=(string(2));
          yvec(n)=(string(4));
          n=n+1;
      end
      z=str2double(zvec);
      y=str2double(yvec);
      zlength=length(z);
      plot(z,y,'*')
      plottitle=sprintf('%d number of points',zlength);
      title=(plottitle)
      close=fclose(fid);
      if close == -1
          disp('File close not successful')
      else
          disp('File close successful')
      end
  end
