Read ASCII File with tab seperator [message #75392]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to read an ascii file with tabs as seperator. The catch is
that when the value equals zero, it is not actually written into the
file. Example 1 gives the file as it should look like if zeros where
present. Example 2 gives the actual file ('0' 'TAB' have been replaced
by 'TAB' only).
I've used the following code for example 1 but can't figure out how to
read example 2 without messing the data up.
data = fltarr(4,4)
readf, lun, data

Thank very much for your help!

EXAMPLE 1:
1 0 0 0
2 0 10 10
3 0 12 12
4 0 10 10

EXAMPLE 2:
1
2 10 10
3 12 12
4 10 10
