For comma delimited files probably the simplest method would be Import[filename, "CSV"] For tab delimited you could use either Import[filename, "Table"] or Import[filename, "TSV"] or if the file contained numeric data only and used whitespace as delimiters then ReadList[filename, Number, RecordLists->True] would work and be faster. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
