[Tutor] Importing data from a file.

[Shall, Sydney]

I have an elementary question provoked by another post today.

1. Is it the case that ALL imported data from a file is a string?
2. Does this therefor imply that said data has to be processed 
appropriately to generate the data in the form required by the program?
3. Are there defined procedures for doing the required processing?

With many thanks,

Sydney
