title: Calling .csv file into Octave
body: <p>I have a code written in C++ that outputs a .csv file with data in three columns (Time, Force, Height). I want to plot the data using Octave, or else use the octave function plot in the C++ file (I'm aware this is possible but I don't necessarily need to do it this way).</p>
  
  <p>Right now I have the simple .m file: </p>
  
  <pre><code>filename = linear_wave_loading.csv;
  M = csvread(filename);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just to practice bringing this file into octave (will try and plot after)
  I am getting this error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>error: dlmread: error parsing range
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the correct method to load .csv files into octave? </p>
  
  <p>Edit: Here is the first few lines of my .csv file</p>
  
  <pre><code>Wavelength= 88.7927 m
  Time    Height  Force(KN/m)
  0   -20 70668.2
  0   -19 65875
  0   -18 61411.9
  0   -17 57256.4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help. </p>
