Thanks for your answer,
I've tried with the fscanfMat (M=fscanfMat(TMPDIR + '/proof.txt')) function in 
order to read the matrix of 7 columns, which is formatted as follows:
40705.00	 -2.56	34.07	21.09	83.61	40705.00	 0.00
40705.00	 -2.61	34.05	21.09	83.61	40705.00	 0.00
40705.00	 -2.56	34.04	21.09	83.69	40705.00	 0.00
40705.00	 -2.57	34.03	21.09	83.97	40705.00	 0.00
40705.00	 -2.64	34.02	21.09	84.21	40705.00	 0.00
40705.00	 -2.54	34.02	21.10	84.25	40705.00	 0.00

Is it a problem of directory? I saved the sce file and the txt file in the 
temporal directory of scilab.
Thanks
