READCOL will skip lines that don't meet the specified format. A typical problem is reading a string which includes a space in it, which by default READCOL will interpret as a delimiter, and thus breakup into two separate fields.

I would remove the /SILENT keyword and include the /DEBUG keyword to have READCOL tell you which lines it thinks does not match the format. I might also set NUMLINES = 5000 say so you re not flooded with error messages.

If you do have spaces in your strings, you might have to use READFMT (or READ_ASCII). --Wayne
