Read binary data of arbitrary dims and type

Sweet! Thank you. I was struggling for an embarrassing amount of time with this.

Since it’s a First Steps post, here’s the whole thing.

function read_dat(filename, dims, T)
    img = Array{T}(undef, (dims))
    open(filename) do io
        read!(io, img)
    end
end

> data = read_dat("myfilename.img", (251, 260), Float32)
251x260 Array{Float32,2}:...

Though I’m not sure how to pass the dims. This doesn’t work:

bands=250; lines=260; samples=440;
fn = “myfile.img”;
dtype = Float32;
data = read_dat(fn, (bands,lines,samples), dtype)

Tried a few variations; ([b,l,s]), ((b,s,l))… ???
