I typically do something like this when reading delimited ASCII data.
Each line is read into a string and then the string is divided into an
array of strings. Then you do what you will with the values in the
array:

OPENR,Lun,/Get_Lun,Filename
sString = ''
WHILE NOT(EOF(Lun)) DO BEGIN
READF,Lun,sString
tempArray = str_sep(sString, string(byte(32))) ;Replace with ASCII code
of delimiter
index = WHERE( tempArray NE '', num)
IF num GT 0 THEN tempArray = tempArray[index]

x = float(tempArray[0])
y = float(tempArray[1])
s = float(tempArray[2])
;You would assign these values to fill your array: fltarr(49,36,22)
