Re: skips while reading tab delimited data

["Christophe Fraser" <c.fraser(at)ic.ac.uk>]

Well if you're interested, here's the code that reads in the data:

dataread=0
if dataread eq 0 then begin
 CD, 'U:\VAIO2\C Code\residual'
 Nloops = 200L
 NR0Steps = 200L+1
 arraydet = dblarr(3,NR0Steps)
 arraystoc = dblarr(3,(NR0Steps)*Nloops)
 OpenR, 1, 'residual1.txt'
 ReadF, 1, arraydet
 ReadF, 1, arraystoc
 Close, 1
endif

Cheers, Christophe.
