This public service announcement (PSA) outlines best practices when asking for help. Following these points makes it easier for us to help you and more likely you’ll get a prompt, useful answer. Keywords are highlighted to make it easier to refer to specific points. Choose a descriptive title that captures the key part of your question, eg “plots with multiple axes” instead of …

In particular:

1. Wrap the example code between ` ```julia` and ````` to make it readable in markdown.
2. Copy the output as text, avoid screenshots.

In this case, the problem seems to be that the file is not readable by`readdlm`. Can you copy the first couple of lines?
