readAsciiTable

Hi,
I'm using readAsciiTable to read in a single column of numbers, and
would like to skip the last 2 values.

My input file has 4802 lines (numbers).

When I do

data=readAsciiTable(ifil,1,"float",(/0,2/))

Variable: data
Type: float
Total Size: 19208 bytes
             4802 values
Number of Dimensions: 2
Dimensions and sizes: [4802] x [1]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 1
   _FillValue : -999

and

data=readAsciiTable(ifil,1,"float",(/1,2/))

Variable: data
Type: float
Total Size: 19196 bytes
             4799 values
Number of Dimensions: 2
Dimensions and sizes: [4799] x [1]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 1
   _FillValue : -999
