Forcing READ_ASCII output to be a set of strings... [message #43004]

I'm trying to use READ_ASCII to read in a text file which contains
parameters for the algorithm I'm developing (so the user just modifies the
.csv file instead of having to type all the parameters into the idl command
line). It appears to be defaulting to an array of floating points in the
structure, but I want the values to be read in as text (they contain things
like paths to certain file, etc). How do I "force" READ_ASCII to bring
those values in as an array of strings?
