I'm not sure, but I think you want the WordSeparators to be a space, not an
empty string???

your output looks like every line is just a string, so you might needs some
string-processing before executing ToExpression. If you manage to get
somehing like:
line = {"obsrv","0.1000E+02","0.3000E+01","0.4000E+01"}
using:
ToExpression/@line
With[{varname=line[[1]]},varname=Rest[line]]
will do what you want. make sure that there are no definitions for any of
the "descriptions", otherwise you might see error messages...
