reading ascii data with unequal number of columns

Hello,

I have an ASCII file of known number of lines, however the number of elements on
each line is unknown. Is there any function in NCL that can read this data, so
that, if the resulting variable is A, A(0) is the first line, A(1) is the
second line, and so on?

ASCII file is like this:

0.1 0.2 0.4 0.1
2.3
2.7 2.0
1.1

I can fill the incomplete lines up to the number of elements of longest line and
then read the data into a 2-d array with missing values.. but I wondered if I
really have to do this..

Thanks

--Ozan
