	importing file? by Emily Moberg :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed.

I saw on an archived post that data = load("filename.txt") should work, but Octave spits out the error message that it can't find the file; do I need to put it somewhere special? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question! Thanks! Emoeberg Now you can invite friends from Facebook and other groups to join you on Windows Live™ Messenger.

Put it in the current directory. If you want to know what Octave thinks the current directory is, type "pwd" at an Octave prompt. - Jordi G.

Also, which 'filename' should help locate where your file is now, if Octave can see it. You may also want to look up csvread & dlmread. Emily Moberg wrote: Hi!
