Jean, thanks for that, but I'm still stuck with the same problem no
matter how I do it. I cut the code short to

CD, 'filepath'
ci_files = FILE_SEARCH('ci*', COUNT=num_ci_files_found)

for i = 0,(num_ci_files_found-1) do begin

file = ci_files(i)
rows = File_Lines(file)
OpenR, lun, file, /Get_Lun
header = StrArr(34)
ReadF, lun, header
Point_Lun, -lun, currentLocation
data = strarr(12, rows-(n_elements(header))) ; i know there's 12
columns
readF, lun, data

; from here on I want to extract one column only and
save this column (radiation data from one station for one month) in a
file where I later add values from all other stations for this
specific month, then take the average from all stations over the whole
month)

--> READF: End of file encountered.

Do I need to include a format statement? I read some posts saying it
is sometimes (in easy cases) better to forget about any format
statements...

thanks for your input...
sophie, going crazy
