I am trying to get this table of data representing the SLy equation of state for a neutron star. CSV.File(HTTP.get("http://www.ioffe.ru/astro/NSG/NSEOS/sly4.dat").body) loads the data as strings of a single column instead of four columns of numbers. How to get the expected results? The problem remains the same even if the load the data file from the local directory.

The first few rows of your file isn’t data.

See skipto in the CSV.File docs (Home · CSV.jl)

df=DataFrame(CSV.File(HTTP.get("http://www.ioffe.ru/astro/NSG/NSEOS/sly4.dat").body;
    header=false,skipto=7,delim=" ",ignorerepeated=true))

Or without DataFrames of course.
