Dear friends,

I have a problem in reading files with Mathematica:

I should read files containing columns of numbers.
These numbers, generated by a Fortran based calculation, can have either the
form .078945E+01 (where I do not find any problem) or the form .783482-150,
where the function ReadList read two numbers: .783482, and -150, and here is
my problem.

I use:
ReadList["file",{Real,Real}]

I do many calculations, getting results in both forms, and I should not
change the argument of ReadList every time, depending on the form of the result.
Do you know how I could manage to read .783482-150 as a whole number (namely
.783482E-150)?

Thank you.

Carles S.
