Utility class to read and parse a fixed length table. Each line of the table becomes a "Record". Each Record has a set of Fields described by the format string. 

 List<TableParser.Record> recs = TableParser.readTable(is, "3,15,46,54,60d,67d,73d", 50000);
 for (TableParser.Record record : recs) {
 Station s = new Station();
 s.id = "K" + record.get(0);
 s.name = record.get(2) + " " + record.get(3);
 s.lat = (Double) record.get(4) * .01;
 s.lon = (Double) record.get(5) * .01;
 s.elev = (Double) record.get(6);
 

 stationTableHash.put(s.id, s);
 if (showStations) System.out.println(" station= " + s);
 }
 

 Example Table:
 TLX      000001 OKLAHOMA_CITY/Norman             OK US  3532  -9727   370  0 NWS
 AMA      000313 AMARILLO/Amarillo                TX US  3523 -10170  1093  0 NWS
 HGX      000378 HOUSTON/GALVESTON/Dickinson      TX US  2947  -9507     5  0 NWS
 MLB      000302 MELBOURNE/Melbourne              FL US  2810  -8065    11  0 NWS
 

 format:
 "3,15,54,60d,67d,73d"
 

 grammer:
 format = {field,}
 field = endPos type
 endPos = ending pos in the line, 0 based, exclusive, ie [start, end)
 type = i=integer, d=double, L=long else String
 field[0] goes from [0, endPos[0])
 field[i] goes from [endPos[i-1] to endPos[i])
