Howdy! I would like to read a text file that looks like the following: a 1 b 2 c 3 ... and end up having assigned the value in the second column to the variable name in the first column, i.e. a=1 b=2 c=3 ... Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried (only briefly, though) with ReadList to accomplish this task, but with no success yet. Thanks in advance! -Chuck -- ============================================================================= Chuck Wilkerson cww at lanl.gov Advanced Diagnostics and Instrumentation Group Tel 505-667-5966 Los Alamos National Laboratory FAX 505-665-2227 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may ask yourself, 'What is that beautiful house?'
