data files

Files containing data are loaded by specifying the name of the data file to the read command. Data files should contain one data point per line. A data point can be a 256 dimensional object. By default, anything following character `#' will be treated as comment and ignored. In all cases, the numbers on each line of a data file must be separated by any number of blank spaces or tabs. These blanks divide each line into columns. Thus, can handle up to 256 columns per line. Warning will be given if a line has a different number of columns. Strings such as NaN or Infinity are recognized and refused. The default compilation gives a maximum line size of 1024 characters.
