Read data as array structure [message #79202]

Hello,

I am trying to define an array structure having a string parameter and
floats, in order to read a data file. The problem is, when I define
the first parameter of the structure as a string and then read the
file, this string parameter contains the data of the whole line and
not the first data entry. I guess by giving you an example would be
much easier to understand my problem...

Let's say that I have the data file below with this entries...
name 0.386216 1286.08
name 0.391236 1080.36

I first create the array structure...
dataStruct = { name:'' p2:0.0, p3:0.0 }

...with two lines
data = replicate(dataStruct, 2)

and then read the data.
readf, lun, data

I then get the error --> % READF: Input conversion error. Unit: 100

How I can avoid the problem of the string variable reading the whole
line of the data file?

PS. Of course I would like an answer which is related on the array
structure and not how to just read the data from the file!

Thanks!
Tas
