Reading ASCII data files into octave

[Marco Bravi]

Dear Octave users,

I am a frequent matlab user, who is accustomed to being able to read ASCII
data files simply containing one matrix of data, without having to first
specify in the file itself the size of the data about to read.

Is there any way to have Octave do the same, without first adding those
four lines before each matrix contained in the file???

Thanks a lot in advance,

                                Marco Bravi
