function [Time, Extension, Load] = importtensiledata(filename, dataLines)
%IMPORTFILE Import data from a text file
%  [TIME, EXTENSION, LOAD] = IMPORTTENSILEDATA(FILENAME) reads data from text
%  file FILENAME for the default selection.  Returns the data as column
%  vectors.
%
%  [TIME, EXTENSION, LOAD] = IMPORTTENSILEDATA(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:
%  [Time, Extension, Load] = importtensiledata("D:\Parachute_Cord_tensile\Specimen_RawData_6_cord1_bowline.csv", [3, Inf]);
