Hi
I have an ASCII file like this

0.5278094 0.3206182 0.144641 0.06570376 0.1231144 0.2697486
-0.06622537 -1.551116;
0.5228434 0.3176388 0.1095919 0.04126258 0.1140051 0.2344392
-0.1165814 -1.565449;

Each of my line ends with a semicolon. Unfortunately there is a new line character after 6 floats. How can i read the full line uptill the semi colon into an array.

If you don't need the actual lines as strings, you can easily read the floats:

a = fltarr(8, 2)

openr, 1, 'tmp.txt'
readf, 1, a
close, 1
