Help!  A compiled program I use (can't access the code) produces an ASCII file
with header info. enclosed in double quotes followed by an array of real number
s.  How can I input only the real numbers for further processing.  I have tried
 to input the string variables to dummy $ variables, but no matter what number
of dummies I use, I still get the "input past end" error and it kicks me out of
 the program.  I am using and ancient release of gwbasic (1988?).  This is driv
ing me nuts and I can't find out how to do it in any of the BASIC books around.
Thanks for your help!  Larry Zibilske
