I want to provide a formatted read like FORTRAN's. I have found a public-domain implementation but it concatenats the input data as bytes, making assumptions about the endian-ness and size of various types. The alternatives I've devised are (1) returning a sequence of strings or (2) a linked list of records.

Is there a way, possibly an OOP way, of representing a sequence of values of arbitrary type?

Thanks!
