Details:

The following piece of code works in Matlab, but not in Octave.

[Trial Event_Type Code
Time]=textread("test.log","%d%s%s%d%*[^n]","headerlines",5);

Apparently option %*[n] is not recognized.

Please test with attached sample log file.

Besides, textread has a small bug regarding the situation in which there is
only one option "headerlines".
