read species abundance data from the patches, an internal function used by other functions

1	read.patchdata(path = NULL, spnum = 2, islandnum = 10)

`path`	local filename for the model output
`spnum`	species number in the model, default is 2
`islandnum`	patch number in the model,default is 10

## The function is currently defined as

        count = 0
        for (i in 1:length(raw)) {
