Dear Thomas,

you can try my read_data_file function.
This function determines itselfs data files.
In this version it's able to read all tabulars where data columns are
numbers. If you have strings in your columns I can sent the new version
to you. It separates itselfs header comments before the tabular and past
the tabular. The type is set to double by default. If you like to have
float you can use the /floyt keyword. If you like to see an assistant
program you can use /assist. More is described in the routine.

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/read_data_file.tar.gz

or as IDL 5.5 binary

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/read_data_file.sav

x=read_data_file('/path/filename.file')

The result is a structure

help,x,/str

For further routines and licensing please have a look at
