problem in reading text files

[Yaping Zhou]

Hi All:

I have been having problems with loading text files in Octave versions
later than 2.1.50.

Attached are two text files that are formatted the same. I tried to load
them in version 3.0.1 running on XP. One works but the other doesn't. If I
open the NotOk.txt file, add or delete some white spaces and save it, for a
unknown reason, sometimes the file becomes loadable.

Somehow version 2.1.50 has been very robust for me in terms of loading text
file.

Can you please confirm the problem I saw and help. Thanks.

Regards,
Yaping Zhou
