You don't need the io package to use textread (and textscan & strread),
these are all in core Octave.

Furthermore, the error message is self-explanatory:

With textread (and strread) you'd need to supply a sufficient nr of output
args. Just one (chanName) won't do, you need something like [a. b, c, d] =
textread (....). The whitespace arg isn't needed.

You can also use textscan() as Markus has outlined - may be easier for you,
it'll only need one output arg.
