[Scilab-users] Reading numericaldata from txt file containing headlines

[Amanda Osvaldo]

Hi,
if your data it's tabular, in another words, you can open it in Excel
or Libre Office Calc like you whant to do.
You should be able to read in the same way with csvRead, however you
need to adjust the parameters
Something like:
[M, comments] = csvRead('myfile.txt', '	', [], [], [], [], [],
5);
Note that ' ' need to be the same separator in your text file.May be it
can be a TAB (the key in keyboard) or a simple space, you need try or
open your file and check it.
And the 5 value it's to ignore the first 5 lines.

Is that what you are looking for ?
