Solution:

On some machines, it is possible to read data that contain NaN's and Inf's.

The following machines can read NaN's and Inf's:

Macintosh
SunOS
Solaris
IBM RS/6000
DEC Alpha/OSF (fscanf only)

The following machines cannot read NaN's and Inf's:

MS-Windows
HP
SGI

If your machine cannot read NaN's and Inf's then you will have to read in the file one line at a time and convert it to its numeric values. For example:

f = fopen('file.dat', 'rt');
tmp = fgetl(f);
fclose(f);
