Hi Devs,
as this is the first time I post to this list, I hope I do the right thing.
I programmed a nice little function, that is not very nitty but might
be useful for other users as well.
See the script below.
Cheers!

// function to read a 'fixed lenght' text file in an array
// delivers an array containg the values
