Reading a set of data with string type entries [message #57081]

Dear all,

I need to read in a large set of data. Each entry is started with a
name, followed by many numbers.
The numbers are separated by spaces, but the length of each number is
not fixed.

My problem is like this: Since the data starts with a string, I can't
use free-format readf (because by default, the string slot will read
the whole line.) and due to the unknown length of numbers, I can't use
a format code, either.

What should I do?
