[plt-scheme] How to get tokenize a string?

Why not using just read? For the first read you would find:
(read port) --> 2.5500000e-002
If your file contains numers only:

; read a file containing numbers and return the list of these numbers.
(define (read-file-of-numbers port) ; unchecked code!
 (let ((item (read port)))
  (if (eof-object item) '( )
   (cons item (read-file-of-numbers port)))))

In fact the above routine can be used for any file that contains a sequence of sexprs and would return a list of the sexprs.
