Re: how to skip header rows using readAsciiTable

Hi Chiara,

You are not calling readAsciiTable correctly.

The second argument is not the number of rows by the number of columns.

Rather, it is just the number of columns.

Try this:

 ncol = numAsciiCol(filename)
 x = readAsciiTable(filename,ncol,"float",6)
