I would do something like this.

rows = File_Lines('myfile.dat')
Openr, lun, 'myfile.dat', /Get_Lun
line = ""
ReadF, lun, line
cols = N_Elements(StrSplit(line, ' ', /Extract))
Point_lun, lun, 0
data = FltArr(cols, rows)
ReadF, lun, data
Free_Lun, lun

colMeans = Total(data, 2) / rows

Cheers,

David
