Looks all right to me! (Wave 6)

: You might try READS.

I am using PV-Wave. READS must be an IDL function. What exactly
does it do?

READS reads the input from a string instead of a file:

READS, string, var1, var2 instead of READF, unit, var1, var2

This way you have a possibility to use the usual READing procedures
to interpret any strings that pass by.
