interface data_table read
Allows you to read a remote file and importing the data to a data table field.
The data table is similar to a excel workbook where a categorized data can be stored as array, locating each item by its row and column index. The data table can be created on a dialog box and the data is displayed using this command.
Any existing numerical tabular data, for example, a tab delimited text file can be read into a data table, instead of entering the elements manually.
