Lets asume the data are in the file called "filename". You do the
following:

In[1]:= f1=OpenRead["filename"];
In[2]:=
table1=Table[Read[f1,{Real,Real,Real,Real,Real,Real,Real}],{100}];
In[3]:= table2=Transpose[table1]

and you'll get a table with 7 elements, each a table with 100 elements
coresponding to the columns in your file. This assumes that the
"filename" is in a place where mathematica can find it.
