analyze()

Find out how many columns there are and what their names are

There are two cases:

1. the first line is not a comment. In this case the column names are ‘time’ and ‘value0x’ depending on how many values are in the first line

2. the first line is a comment line (it starts with a #). In this case the rest of the line is analyzed and used as names
