"copy column from table" doesn't work with "y error" #47

When trying to use a different datafile as the source for error bars using "create on use/errors/.style={ create col/copy column from table={error.dat}{Errors} }" while plotting data from a datafile, pgfplots fails with the message "! Undefined control sequence. \pgfplotstableread@loop@processnextline ...stener \fi \fi \pgfplotstableread... l.36 ] table [y error=errors] {data.dat};".

It works fine if the datafile containing the plot data has been read into a macro using \pgfplotstableread first.

Using "copy column from table" on the fly works fine for reading "meta" (or "x" or "y) data.

See attached example file.

Fixed: pgfplots did not properly check for the 'read completely' flag in this case.

Work-around: provide 'read completely' as option.
