hi, I already committed this code (among other things) about a month ago.
the code now complies the coding rules you mention.
regarding dataread.m, i think that textread.oct in octave-forge does the job
much better and faster than the code I sent. note that matlab has several
functions for reading ascii data files. they are redundant. I don't
think it is worth
to have and maintain all of them in octave. cheers, eric.
