Re: Loading .csv files

Hi all thanks for the help

For reasons I dont understand John Eaton's solution
load (file_in_loadpath('data.txt')) works

load 'data.txt'  . I must say that Octave has the most responsive
(especially to beginners, unlike a lot of mailing lists) and active 
mailing lists. Thank you again all.
