Hi Joao,
your example works for me with the current development source so I guess
one of the bugfixes
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/log/49a5a4be04a1/scripts/io/textread.m
fixed this. Can you wait some weeks until octave 3.8 is released?

btw: please stop thread hijacking (Don't replay to an existing post and
