The #read command can not be used to freely parse an input file. It can
only be used to read in comma-separated (in some cases space-separated
works) values which have the same format as a regular pov-file would have
(eg. something you would write at the right of a "#declare Value =").

  (As a curiosity, if the input file being #read has any #-commands,
those will be parsed in the regular way until POV-Ray finds a value
which it can read.)
