filecontent = fileread('YourFile.txt');
h1pos = strfind(filecontent, '1. introduction');
h2pos = strfind(filecontent, '2. circuit analysis');
disp( filecontent(h1pos(1) : h2pos(1)-1) );

Thank you Walter... :)

further i need to store the displayed result in a variable...

so i did [output] = disp( filecontent(h1pos(1) : h2pos(1)-1) ).

but it shows error as too many output arguments. please help me regarding this.

[Walter Roberson]

output = filecontent(h1pos(1) : h2pos(1)-1);

Note that this will be a single string that includes newline characters and possibly carriage return characters as well. What form are you hoping for considering you have multiple lines?
