Hi everyone,

I have the following input file:

%Object Name : left asis
 1      168     0.695873        6.544617        62.457849
82.505554
 1      169     0.700040        8.332349        61.770844
82.268933
 1      170     0.704207        9.848946        61.490948
82.065082

%Object Name : right asis
 2      168     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156
86.780951
 2      169     0.700040        -4.581314       36.861102
86.754218

%Object Name : right asis
3      168     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156       86.780951
3      169     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156       86.780951

I want to read this file in the form of a matrix (real numbers), so
that the matrix has the
following (eliminate the %Object line while reading):

 1      168     0.695873        6.544617        62.457849
82.505554
 1      169     0.700040        8.332349        61.770844
82.268933
 1      170     0.704207        9.848946        61.490948
82.065082
 2      168     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156
86.780951
 2      169     0.700040        -4.581314       36.861102
86.754218
 3      168     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156
86.780951
 3      169     0.695873        -6.179786       37.250156
86.780951


So the real numbers matrix is of size [7][6]

I have tried quite a few things but nothing seems to be working.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Namrata
