This code is not doing what you think it does. "readf, lun, dummy" will read 5 lines from the data file. Thus, "dummy[0]" will contain the first of these.
You want something like this:
file = 'cdays.dat.old'
nLines = file_lines(file)
data = strarr(nLines)
openr, lun, file, /get_lun
readf, lun, data
free_lun, lun
data = (strsplit(data, /extract)).toarray() ; Requires IDL 8 (loop over lines in IDL 7)
data = double(data)
