Bringing Numbers from txt file

Hello

I have a text file that has two columns of numbers and there are around 4000 rows. when i try to open the file with excel, then it shows both the columns at the same column where i need them into two columns. I am trying to bring the data into two different arrays in matlab so i can plot it. But i havent been able to figure out a way to do that. can you please tell me what sort of commands do i need to use here?

Thanks Sazzad
