I would probably have done  it in a more complicated way:-), but I like  
this solution, it  seems quite robust for characters replacing missing 
numbers.

In case your number of header lines varies:

firstdata="2017"//something unique in the first dataline(or last header line)
maxheaderlength=10
Mh=mgetl(filename,maxheaderlength)
for  skiplines=1:size(Mh,1)
     if  strindex(Mh(skiplines),firstdata)~=[]  then  
         break
     end
end
skiplines=skiplines-1

Md=csvRead(filename,"",[],"string",[],[],[],skiplines)
