use "mgetl" as below :

 fname='MRS101916sr007_r70';
 ext='.txt';
 data=mgetl(fname+ext);

data will be a vector of strings (nx1 matrix)  where each line of fname
is a string of dat).

The "load" function loads scilab  variables saved in a binary file with
.sod extension.  try "help load" in the scilab console to get more
informations.

if you want to read a matrix from a text file  you should use
"fscanfMat"  see "help fscanfMat" and "help scanf_conversion" in scilab
console for more information .
