I'm a new user of Nim. I'm enjoying programming in it. It's an exceptionally elegant language.
But, currently I'm stuck with a problem: I haven't been able to find a way to read numbers (floats, ints, etc.) from an ASCII (text) file. As a concrete example, suppose we have a text file like 3.14 2 41.00 where numbers are written in a blank-separated ASCII format. So, I'm looking for a function that reads the text file, parse it, and convert the text-representations of the numbers into the corresponding numbers, like C's scanf, C++'s ">>", Fortran's formatted read, etc. Or something like Ruby's String::to_f method or Haskell's "read" function. Thank you for your help. Ryo
