The amount of information you provided is not likely to be sufficient to 
tell you where your problem lies.  The POV-Ray #read function is only 
able to read comma separated values.  If you have the impression that 
this does not work you should show the minimal code necessary to 
reproduce this as well as the data file you try to read.
