FileToArray

[SRB]

I'm trying to use FileToArray (by colums) on a File that has a header.

Text in Header bla bla bla
More Text in Header bla bla bla bla bla
1.1 2.2 3.3 4.4
5.5 6.6 7.7 8.8

Is there a way to point FileToArray to a certain position in a file before it writes the data to an array? As it is, FileToArray reads in the file, but not in colums as it should.

Thanks,
SRB

No, the FileToArray function is designed to work with files that only have array data in them (primarily with files generated by ArrayToFile) as a shortcut for dumping and retrieving array data quickly to a file.

If you have a richer file format than that, you need to use the normal Scan functions (ScanFile) with format statements to read in the data.
