NOTES
- text style documents with the following elecments will be properly read by this
function:
a) 'n' rows of headers: If these rows are of the form 'x = y'. The
element on the left of the equal sign will be stored as a name while the element on
the right of the equal sign will be stored as its value. e.g.
data.zoosystem.CompInfo.x = y.
b) 1 row of channel names of n elements 'a b c d ... n'. Each column will form a channel
name in the zoo file. e.g. data.a, data.b, data.c, ...data.n. These channels will be
considered video channels.
c) n rows of data. Each column in the data field is assumed to be related to the columns
in the channel names
- If the text file does not meet these criteria, it should be possible to modify this function
relatively easily
