  reading uv vectors from file

I have a problem.

I want to read a file with successions of 6 3D vectors followed by 3 2D 
vectors on each line (yes, smoothed triangles) looking like this (two 
first lines):

<1.53223, 5.20003, -0.91979>, <-0.9382721, -0.3187213, -0.1343958>, 
<1.55159, 5.13053, -0.89013>, <-0.9382817, -0.3187565, -0.1342448>, 
<1.50766, 5.24892, -0.8642>, <-0.9382815, -0.3187583, -0.1342426>, <0.5, 
1>, <0.71485, 0.85355>, <0.28515, 0.85355>,
<1.55159, 5.13053, -0.89013>, <-0.9382817, -0.3187565, -0.1342448>, 
<1.47353, 5.29913, -0.74484>, <-0.9382809, -0.3187523, -0.1342607>, 
<1.50766, 5.24892, -0.8642>, <-0.9382815, -0.3187583, -0.1342426>, 
<0.71485, 0.85355>, <0.01267, 0.5>, <0.28515, 0.85355>,

My code looks like this:

#fopen Triangles1 "MyFile.inc" read
#while (defined(Triangles1))
   #read (Triangles1, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, UV1, UV2, UV3)
   etc...
#end

I get immediately a parse error at the end of the first line saying: 
"Parse error: Expected 'undeclared identifier', uv vector identifier 
found instead"

How should I then declare the 2D vectors in order to be read correctly?

Thanks!

Thomas
