float does not parse '0.000000E+00'

[Darrell Gallion]

Too much work to decode what your doing.
Maybe this will help.

import pprint, string
def parse(lines):
    res=[]
    for l in lines:
        temp = string.split(l)
        resLine=[]
        for n in temp:
            resLine.append(eval(n))

        res.append(resLine)
    return res

pprint.pprint(parse(open("lcase.001").readlines()))

############ Output
[[1],
 [4, 3],
 [1, 0.0, 0.0],
 [2, 0.0, 300.0],
 [3, 500.0, 300.0],
 [4, 500.0, 0.0],
 [1, 1, 2],
 [2, 2, 3],
 [3, 3, 4],
 [1, 300.0, 0.0, 1.0],
 [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2500.0, -146.922, 6526.54],
