+function  [ labels , node_sizes, cases, data] = readInputData( dfile , nnodes )
+	%  readColData  reads data from a file containing data in columns
+	%               that have text titles, and possibly other header text
+	%   
+	%  Input:
+	%     dfile  = name of the file containing the data.(required)
+	%     nnodes  = number of columns in the data file.  (required)
+    %
+    %   Function assumes the following format for the input file:
+    %       1) First line has labels for each of the nodes.  There cannot
+    %              be spaces in any node label.
+    %       2) The next line is the "node_sizes" of the nodes.  If the 
+    %           nodes are discrete, this number will be equal to the number
+    %           of states.  If the nodes are continuous, they should be 
+    %           equal to 1.  The function assumes that any nodes with
+    %           node_size = 1 is continuous.
+    %       3) The rest of the file is numeric data.  The data in the input
+    %               data has the number of columns equal to the number of 
+    %               nodes in the network and the number of rows equal to
+    %               the number of samples.

+	%  Output:
+	%     labels = cell array with node (column) labels.
+    %     node_sizes  =  vector with the size of each node
+    %     cases = cell array with the data.  The cases array is transposed
+    %       in comparison with the input data to agree with the format of
+    %       cell data used in BNT.
