READF data containing numbers and strings [message #30997]

I need to read data from a file which contain lines with mixed variables
including strings, for example "1 2 text 3". I tried "READF, int1, int2,
str1, int3", but str1 gobbles up the rest of the line, leaving nothing for
int3. This happens even if I supply an explicit format like A4 for the
string. I can read the entire line into a single string, but then how do I
separate the variables? STR_SEP does not work, since the separation
character has to be a blank, and there can be multiple blanks between
variables. I am hoping there is something simple I am missing (as is
usually the case with IDL, simple only after you know the answer) ....
