precision of data read from spreadsheet file

I have a spreadsheet file in the following format

3.16E+02 -2.58E-02 -1.33E-02
3.16E+02 -2.60E-02 -1.35E-02
3.16E+02 -2.59E-02 -1.33E-02

I am trying to read it into a two dimensional array.
I tried to use the functions : 1)(spreadsheet string to array) and 2) (read lines from file) with (string to array) . But in each case when I view the result in a double precesion indicator array - I find only two digits after decimal point : (say for the first line I see 316.00 .03 .01).
But I need to keep all digits after decimal. How can I do that?

Hello,

Try right-clicking on the array indicator from the front panel and selecting "Format and Precision." From here you can change the type of data point, the number of digits included, and the representation of the data (i.e., floating point, scientific, engineering, etc).

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
