Reading in a string file [message #39186]

Any hints on how to read a file which is in CSV form where each entry is a
text string:

Quaking Aspen
Low Sagebrush
Jeffrey Pine

Into an array for use in a query, e.g.

print,stringarray[0]
-> Quaking Aspen

For numerical data I usually do a array = READ_ASCII(filename,delimiter=",")
And then array=array.(0) so I can have it in a normal array format. For
this data, however, I get an array of NaN
