 This is my data in the text file.

MPG    WEIGHT    PRICE
----------------------
 22     2930      4099
 17     3350      4749
 22     2640      3799
 20     3250      4816
 15     4080      7827

I want to use do loop and array to generate the dadaset. But I am not sure how to deal with the second line, which is dash line. I want to skip it.
