How do you load a text file in Octave?

I tried textread and textscan, but got errors or unknown command.

Also, how do I know if I need a package for a given command? The documentation doesn't say: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Simple-File-I_002fO.html#doc%2dtextread

Typing 'which <function_name>' will give you if and where the function is found.  If you can't find a function, you can look on http://octave.sourceforge.net/function_list.html to find the package that the function you want is in.

Though, textread and textscan are both core octave functions.  What exactly are you typing that causes an error and what is the error?  If you could copy and paste both, that would probably be the best way to find out whats going on.  Also, what is the format for the text file that you want to read in?
