[Scilab-users] Read file (.txt)

[Jan Åge Langeland]

The main problem I ran into with csvRead was reading files with a 
variable number of separators in each row. Then my suggested solution 
pads with 0. It could be changed to pad with NaN also.

Using strsplit in each row allows for several separators in the same 
conversion.  It may still be useful to use evstr row by row instead, if 
the number of spaces between numbers vary.
