[Scilab-users] csvread different separator

[Florian Winter]

Hello
I'm trying to write a function that reads data from a single file. It is a
rather large file so I wanted to use the csvread function because it is
faster than opening the file and then using scanf. The problem is, that my
file is not a real csv file. It has different number of spaces in between
every data entry.
It looks like this:

1 2  3   4   5 6 7   8
the spaces between each entry is the same in every row so between 1 and 2
there is a single space, between 2 and 3 there are two spaces, between 3-4
and 4-5 three spaces, 5-6 one, 6-7 one and 7-8 three again.


Is there a faster way than opening the file and using a scanf?

Thank you!
Florian
