Probably after that you want to use something like
Map[ToExpresion[StringReplace[#,","->"."]]&,%,{2}]
to change the strings "3,5" to "3.5" and then to a number 3.5 ...
See the online help for explanations on the functions used, then you
should be able to import even more complicated ASCII-data.
hope this helps
Albert
