 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Function: #!EF #!I50 #!N Specifies the number of bytes (characters) 
the Importer must skip before it begins to read a field's 
data and then the number of bytes it should read (i.e., 
the "width" of the data item). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Use: 
#!EF #!I50 #!N Optional. This keyword applies only to ASCII, field-interleaved 
data. If the data is in ASCII format but the keyword 
is not used, the Importer assumes a default of one or 
more blank spaces (space, tab, new line, or form feed) as 
the delimiter between fields. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N 
Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. The components of a vector must 
each be represented in the same number of characters. Comma separators 
are optional. #!N #!N The following statement tells the Importer to 
skip 10 characters, read one field of 6 characters, skip 10 
characters, and read another field of 4 characters. #!CForestGreen #!N #!N

#!EC #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Because  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   skip #!EF specifies the 
number of characters to be passed over before each  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   field 
#!EF , it does not apply to single elements of a 
vector field but to the field as a whole. However,  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
width #!EF applies to  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   each #!EF element of the vector. 
For example, the following statement tells the Importer to skip 10 
characters, then read a field 6 characters long: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N 
 #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N layout = 10, 6 #!EF #!N #!N #!EC If 
the field  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   v #!EF is a 2-vector, then each component 
(  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   v[x] #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   v[y] #!EF ) is 6 
characters long, for a total width of 12 characters. #!N #!I30

the skip value as 0 (zero). #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N
