import any text using 'looktxt'.
data = read_anytext(filename, options...)
The possible options are:
'--catenate' Catenates similar numerical fields (which have similar dimensions
and names. Recommended.
'--fast' When numerical data blocks only use isspace(3) separators
(\n \r \f \t \v and space), the reading can be made faster with
even lower memory requirements. Recommended.
'--headers' Extracts headers for each numerical field. Recommended.
'--wrapped' Catenates single wrapped output lines with previous matrices
(e.g. caused by the 80 chars per line limit in old data formats
written by fortran codes). Recommended.
'--section=SEC' Classifies fields into sections matching word SEC. This option
can be repeated with different SEC words.
'--metadata=META' Extracts lines containing word META as user metadata. This
option can be repeated with different META items.
'--makerows=NAME' When a numerical data block label matching NAME is found, it
is transformed into a row vector. This may be used for wrapped
files (--wrapped option). This option can be repeatedwith as
different NAME tokens.
'--help' Lists all possible options.
'--silent' Suppress processing messages except errors.
the importation consists in performing the following tasks:
* handle arguments, looking for options (possibly with "string") and filenames
* launch looktxt with Matlab/binary format on temporary file
* import the MAT file as a structure
read_anytext('compile') check looktxt and recompiles if needed
