This ; program is fast but is restricted to data files where all columns can ; be read as floating point (or all double precision). ; ; Use READCOL if greater flexibility is desired. Use READFMT to read a ; fixed-format ASCII file. Use FORPRINT to print columns of data. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; RDFLOAT, name, v1, [ v2, v3, v4, v5, ... v19] ; COLUMNS, /DOUBLE, SKIPLINE = , NUMLINE = ] ; ; INPUTS: ; NAME - Name of ASCII data file, scalar string. In VMS, an extension of ; .DAT is assumed, if not supplied. ; ; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORDS: ; COLUMNS - Numeric scalar or vector specifying which columns in the file ; to read. For example, if COLUMNS = [3,7,11] then the first ; output variable (v1) would contain column 3, the second would ; contain column 7 and the third would contain column 11. If ; the number of elements in the COLUMNS vector is less than the ; number of output parameters, then consecutive columns are ; implied. For example, if 3 output parameters are supplied ; (v1,v2,v3) and COLUMNS = 3, then columns 3,4, and 5 will be ; read. ; SKIPLINE - Integer scalar specifying number of lines to skip at the top ; of file before reading. Default is to start at the first line. ; NUMLINE - Integer scalar specifying number of lines in the file to read. ; Default is to read the entire file ; /DOUBLE - If this keyword is set, then all variables are read in as ; double precision. ; /SILENT - Set this keyword to suppress any informative messages ; ; OUTPUTS: ; V1,V2,V3,...V19 - IDL vectors to contain columns of data. ; Up to 19 columns may be read. All output vectors are of type ; float, unless the /DOUBLE keyword is set, ; ; EXAMPLES: ; Each row in a file 'position.dat' contains a star number and 6 columns ; of data giving an RA and Dec in sexigesimal format. Read into IDL ; variables. ; ; IDL> rdfloat,'position.dat',ID,hr,min,sec,deg,dmin,dsec ; ; All output vectors will be floating point. To only read the ; declination vectors (Deg,dmin,dsec) ; ; IDL> rdfloat,'position.dat',deg,dmin,dsec,col=4 ; ; RESTRICTIONS: ; (1) All rows in the file must be formatted identically (except for ; those skipped by SKIPLINE). RDFLOAT reads the first line of ; the data (after SKIPLINE) to determine the number of columns of ; data. ; (2) Cannot be used to read strings ; PROCEDURES USED: ; NUMLINES() ; REVISION HISTORY: ; Written W. Landsman September 1995 ; Call NUMLINES() function February 1996 ; Read up to 19 columns August 1997 ; Converted to IDL V5.0 W. Landsman September 1997 ; Allow to skip more than 32767 lines W. Landsman June 2001 ; Added /SILENT keyword W. Landsman March 2002 ; Added COLUMNS keyword, use STRSPLIT W.
