There is a command readcol in IDL Astronomy user's library which
is very convenient in cases like this. It skips comment lines and
reads each column in a separate vector. In this case all you need to
do would be:
readcol,'file.txt',count,time,format='f,f'
and you have all your numbers in Count column are in variable "count",
Time column is in "time".
The library is in http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/homepage.html
