Bernard,
See the help on ReadList. I have a file called "dummy.dat" which looks like
this
1.0 1.0
2.0 4.0
3.0 9.0
4.0 15.0
SetDirectory["C:\MyMathematica"]; (* where the file is *)
(* This just reads them in as a single list *)
ReadList["dummy.dat",Number]
{1.,1.,2.,4.,3.,9.,4.,16.}
(* Following reads them in as a list of pairs *)
ReadList["dummy.dat",{Number,Number}]
{{1.,1.},{2.,4.},{3.,9.},{4.,16.}}
(* For kicks you can try this one *)
ReadList["dummy.dat"]
and see what you get.
