(Sorry about my last wrong message)
I used the standard dialog box to read in a file but the Toolbox returns
a pointer.  I tried to use the string scanf "sscanf" to read the string
pointer list but it won't update the string pointer "stringPtr":
          sscanf(stringPtr, "%lf ", &num[i]);
So, I need to move the pointer to the next blank.  But this is not efficeint
at all.  Is there a solution or even a faster way to read in a numeric
ASCII file and store it into a number array?
Please send email to the above address
Thanks in advance.
