1. Read the file line by line as strings
2. use my StrRepl function to replace all delimiters with one value
e.g.
line = StrRepl(line, ';',' ')
line = StrRepl(line, ',',' ')
line = StrRepl(line, ':',' ')
3. Use ReadS, Str_Sep or StrSplit (5.3) to extract the numbers.
Caution: With Str_Sep or StrSplit you should always add a
StrTrim(StrCompress(line),2) before

You can find StrRepl at

Cheers,
Martin
