Hi,

 you don't supply a valid data file or what 0-10.00 mean ? Has your
mailer
broken the line at  0-5 ? Is 6.012905.00 an entry in you data file ? If
yes,
than no program in the world can parse this garbage.

I assume you have a file of numbers separated by commas and you use a
decimal dot.

Than

data = Partition[
    ReadList["test.dat", Number, RecordSeparators -> {",", "\n"}], 3]

will read your file and

Needs["DiscreteMath`ComputationalGeometry`"]

TriangularSurfacePlot[data]

will draw it.

Hope that helps
  Jens
