reading data stored in a file: to Jordi

[Nibalart]

Hi Jordi,
your first line works if I erase the word file.  From the display I understand that everything is stored in a matrix. When I run the second line the answer is:

>>> [v1 v2 v3 v4 v5] = [v(:,1) v(:,2) v(:,3) v(:,4) v(:,5)]

error: invalid number of output arguments for matrix list

Please, teach me how to fish, not just feed. I would like to mean, I don't understand the sintax so please explain what I'm supposed to do. I've tried to read the help file but it doesn't have an example to let you understand the application.
Thank you very much in  advance for your help.
