I think this will do the trick:
infile col1-col5 using "file path here", clear
Replace "col1" and "col3" with the names of your columns.
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: ONE STATA QUESTION ON READING DATA
Hi,
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
I have a (large) dataset in ASCII file. It contains N colomn data
(numerical numbers). I only want to read part of them, for example, from
5th column to 10th column into STATA, how to do that?
Thanks very much!
Frank
