As far as I know, there is no Skill function for table read.
But there is fscanf() function in Skill.
So you can create original functions to read table.

The following is simple example.

procedure( read1Plot( fileName, label )
 let( ( fp, x, y1, lx, ly1, xvec, yvec1, w1 )
       fp = infile( fileName )
       lx = nil
       ly1 = nil
       while( fscanf( fp, "%s %s", x, y1 ) == 2
              lx  = append( lx,  list( aelNumber(x) ) )
              ly1 = append( ly1, list( aelNumber(y1) ) )
       )

       xvec  = drCreateVec( 'double lx )
       yvec1 = drCreateVec( 'double ly1 )
       w1 = drCreateWaveform( xvec, yvec1 )

       plot(w1, ?expr list(label))

       close( fp )
 ) ; let end
) ; procedure end

This is self followup.

Currently getAsciiWave() function is available for this purpose.

getAsciiWave( t_filename x_xColumn x_yColumn [x_xskip] [x_yskip])
=> o_wave / nil

Reads in an Ascii file of data and generates a waveform object from the
specified data. The X-axis data must be real numbers. The Y-axis data can be
real or complex values. Complex values are represented as (real imag) or
complex(real imag). This function skips blank lines and comment lines.
Comments are defined as lines beginning with a semicolon.
