All the readers are subclasses of smarter.AtomCollectionReader. At the end
of that class code you will see a whole set of public functions you can tap
into. In particular there is a global field "line" that is read with
readLine();
When you are reading a mix of text and numbers from a line, first consider
whether there is guaranteed white space between them. Not all programs do
that. If that is the case, then
String[] tokens = getTokens(); // from the NEXT line
or
String[] tokens = getTokens(line); // from the CURRENT line
would be my choice. Then I do something like:
atom.set(parseFloat(tokens[0]), parseFloat(tokens[1]),
parseFloat(tokens[2]));
for example.
Or, if you know it is column based, you can just use:
readLine();
atom.set(parseFloat(line.substring(10,20)), parseFloat.....)
Something like that.
Don't worry so much about getting this perfect. I'll edit it down to the
simplest way to read the file. Just get it reading the file successfully any
way you want.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
