file_lines() is very useful in this situation - then you can avoid all
that looping and EOF stuff. The next problem is that when you read a
string it takes the whole line - not just the part that looks like a
string to you. So the error comes when you try to read the time and
it's at the start of a new line. I'd start like this:

n=file_lines('test.dat')
s=strarr(n)
openr,1,'test.dat'
readf,1,s
close,1

and then chop up the lines with strmid() and convert to the types you
need.

cheers,
Greg
