Read tab delimited ascii file

[Irvine, Wayne D]

I have a tab delimited ascii/excel file formated like

LineNum  Data1    Data2...  Data423
Line001    Val1_1  Val2_1... Val423_1
Line002    Val1_2  Val2_2... Val423_2
...
Linennn...

I want to read the headers/column names in the first line of the file
and later refer to these by name. And of course I need to store the
column of data that belongs to each header/column name. Eventually I
want to produce a series of plots where the x axis will always be
LineNum and I will select a subsection of the Data columns to plot the
values of.

Any help is much appreciated.
