Dear r-help,

I have a radar data file in the following format:

nrays
for (1 to n_rays)
{ some_data_info
  for (1 to n_gates)
  { some_data_info}
}

N_rays=360 and n_gates=950

The data looks something like:

    Header line1
    Ray1 header
        gate1 var1, var2,.....,varN
        ...
        gate950 var1, var2,.....,varN
    Ray2 header
        gate1 var1, var2,.....,varN
        ...
        gate950 var1, var2,.....,varN
    ...
    ...
    ...
   Ray360 header
       gate1 var1, var2,.....,varN
        ...
       gate950 var1, var2,.....,varN

I am having trouble reading this data. Are there any suggestions on how to read the data file one block (corresponding to one ray) at a time?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Justin
