You might try reading the data file as an array of strings,
remove the blank lines, and then read the contents of the
string array into your structure, if that's what you want.

I'm sending you via email a routine called FILE_STRARR.PRO that
reads the contents of a file into a string array. It's written
for UNIX systems, but you could modify if for Mac or PC easily.
Using this, you could say:

string_array = FILE_STRARR( filename )
non_blank = where( string_array ne '' )
if ( non_blank(0) ne -1 ) then $
string_array = string_array( non_blank )

Hope this helps.
