I think this:
dist=(dblarr(10000))
dist(count)=f

could potentially cause major headaches as there's an in-built IDL
function called DIST. I don't know how rigorous IDL is about checking
if something's a local variable before assuming it's a function -
you'd probably get away with it - but it's not something I'd like to
risk...

In general, this looks like another case for Read_ASCII and
ASCII_Template, to be honest. This is another wheel that doesn't need
reinventing, IMHO :-)
