read() can be used instead of either matread() and macroread(). It recognizes the same keywords. In fact, the only difference from matread() and macroread() is that matread() gives a warning message when reading a macro and macroread() gives a warning message when reading a data set. read() makes no such complaint. See matread() and macroread() for details. See also topics getdata(), getmacros(), vecread(), readcols(), 'matread_file', 'macro_files'.
