title: Importing .DAT file into pandas dataframe
body: <p>I have a .DAT file with rows like these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2016 01 01 00 00 19 348 2.05 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 01 19 351 2.05 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 02 18 0 2.05 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 03 17 353 2.05 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 04 19 346 2.02 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 05 20 345 2.00 7 618.4
  2016 01 01 00 06 22 348 1.97 7 618.4
  .......
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the data format is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>year month day hour minute(HST) wind_speed(kts) wind_direction(dec) temperature(C) relative_humidity(%) pressure
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to import the .DAT file into a pandas dataframe, with the year-month-day-hour-minute as a single index column, and the rest of the values as separate columns. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks !!</p>
