The best routine I have found for this purpose is DDREAD.PRO,
available as part of Fred Knight's library at

ftp://ftp.rsinc.com/pub/user_contrib/knight

From the online documentation:
; This routine reads data in formatted (or unformatted) rows and columns.
; The name stands for Data Dump Read. By default, comments are
; skipped and the number of columns is sensed. Many options
; exist, e.g., selecting rows and columns, reading binary data,
; and selecting non-default data type and delimiters.

It also reads TAB delimited files. The best thing is that you don't
have to know the number of rows and columns in advance - DDREAD figures it out.

Do yourself a favor and get it.

Cheers,
Liam.
