Rod-

ReadList is tricky and I usually end up using trial and error to get it
right, but this seems to work for your example.

In[39]:=
!! test.txt
s,1,even,21,2.1,40
p,1,even,7,2.1,3.0
d,1,even,5,2.1,3.0
f,1,even,3,2.1,3.0

In[40]:=
ReadList["test.txt", Record, RecordLists -> True]
Out[40]=
{{"s,1,even,21,2.1,40"}, {"p,1,even,7,2.1,3.0"}, {"d,1,even,5,2.1,3.0"}, \
{"f,1,even,3,2.1,3.0"}}

Subject: [mg25503]  [mg25475] Reading a file


 I'm trying to read the following file,

s,1,even,21,2.1,40
p,1,even,7,2.1,3.0
d,1,even,5,2.1,3.0
f,1,even,3,2.1,3.0

I want the field separator to be "," so i tried
ReadList
["file",{Character,Number,Word,Number,Number,Number},WordSeparators->
","] but it does not seem to work. Any ideas ?
