Dear Samuel, Rafael, thanks for taking my initial question further to a higher level.
I wouldn't have expected to create a bug out of it. So, for me: I am fine with either creating a temporary file and using fscanfMat or mfscanf(). In fact: fscanfMat() is closer to my level of code understanding, since I get a m-x-n matrix as a result with mfscanf() I get an mlist.
