values@global:i = ftgen(0,0,0,-23,"gen23.txt")
instr 1
   for i in [0,1,2] do
     print(table(i,values))
   od
endin

with gen23.txt consisting of three numbers returns:

ftable 101:
2 elements in gen23.txt
ftable 101:	2 points, scalemax 2.000
orch now loaded
audio buffered in 256 sample-frame blocks
not writing to sound disk
SECTION 1:
new alloc (instance 1) for instr 1:
instr 1:	#i0 = 1.000
instr 1:	#i0 = 2.000
instr 1:	#i0 = 2.000

i guess this has to do with the guard point but it is very much 
unexpected as actually the last values is ignored.

can this be changed?

can be irgnored; there was no newline at the end of my text file.  i 
think this is required.
