filename = '6in_nomass_5.txt';
Data = dlmread(filename, '\t', 6, 0);
There are others, such as readmatrix that are likely even easier, however you did not state the release you are using, so dlmread is a safe option.
EDIT — To draw the plot:
figure
plot(Data(:,1), Data(:,2))
grid

From yout MATLAB: Home -> Variable -> Import data.
From there you can also create a function that will allow you to import future files.
