Hold up? It is summer - everyone is on holiday!

Let me see if I understand the problem. You want the program to

1) read the data file until it comes to a letter sequence (in this case ZXX)
2) read the number of entries (in this case 8)
3) read in specified columns of the data according to the letter sequence.

It is the third part that isn't very clear.
