Re: asciiread warning

Sima,

Do your ascii files have fixed width columns? If so, then there is a
common problem that causes exactly this symptom. Some of the numbers
may be large enough that there are no spaces between adjacent columns.
 Asciiread can not read these files directly as individual numbers.

Instead, read each file as type string, then use str_get_cols to get
numbers from individual fixed width columns. See example asc3 on this
page, but you will have to allocate your own 2-D array, and add a loop
over columns:
