Re: Load ascii file

[Heber Farnsworth]

When I have had problems like this the answer is always that one of the entries 
is not a number.  For instance if your spreadsheet puts some character for a 
missing value that is not a number then awk will tell you there are 22 elements 
per line but Octave won't be able to load it.

That's as good a guess as I can make.
