load() is used for data stored in Octave / Matlab specific formats, usually
created using save(). See the help files for each.
You probably want "dlmread()" and its cousin "xlsread()" (or whatever its called
-- I use text only). dlmwrite() would be its pair.
This should be in an FAQ -- it isn't particularly intuitive, and LOTS of people
want to read in data that is either comma or tab delimited.
Hope that answers your question and that I didn't misunderstand ;)
