reading in tab-separated string data [message #79868]

I'm unable to read an array of strings into IDL. Here's what I'm
trying to do.

OPENW,lun,'table.dat',/get_lun,WIDTH=500
for i=0,numlines-1 do
PRINTF,lun,strjoin(data[*,i],string(9b)) ;separate strings in row by
tabs
CLOSE,lun

OPENR,lun,'table.dat',/get_lun
READF,lun,data
CLOSE,lun

The .dat file opens in excel fine but I always get "READF: End of file
encountered." when I try to read the table back into IDL. I have a
similar table which uses floats instead of strings and it works fine
so I'm not sure what is causing the problem.

Thanks, Tim.
