Can ROOT read card files (like FFREAD)?
I guess the answer should be yes. Can anybody refer me to the relevant
section of the ROOT manuals?
My plan is to read in things like detector parameters from
free-formatted files into arrays in my ROOT application, and then in my
program assign these parameters to some objects(e.g., material class
predefined by ROOT). I think this should work. However, I wonder if there's
a better or more efficient way to achieve this purpose.
