Dear Daniele,

It looks to me as though WAVE is interpreting your numbers as floats and
then truncating them. Did you specify your variable as a double before
reading? I suspect that if this is not specified, float is the expected
default when a '.' is found in a number. I got the following to work:

wave> DELVAR,varArray
make sure varArray doesn't already exist as a float from previous attempts!
wave> varArray=DBLARR(1)
tell wave to expect doubles
wave> status=DC_READ_FREE('filename',varArray,/resize)
/resize will resize varArray to cope with amount of data present
wave> PRINT,varArray,Format="(D11.5)"
print it in whatever format seems appropriate

HTH

Yours,
Adrian
