Hi, I can't tell for sure, but a simple test makes me believe that Import[filename, "MX"] could work. If you don't know the $number attached to your variable, just type your variable name and use Ctrl-K (might be some other key combination if you are not on Windows) to get a list of defined variable names. hth, albert
