I just checked in an improved dlmread function (dlmreadnew.cc) into the io/src folder. It should properly respect your delimiter, converting empty fields to zero. Unequal row lengths are allowed. Since it is a compiled oct-file, it is very fast. I made an effort to be compatible with Matlab as determined from the online help.
Please test it out. At the moment it will only read in real numbers since I am simply using strtod directly for the conversion. Sequential use of strtod might be a way to read in complex numbers... contributions are welcome.
