Here. Something like this.

You should probably check the "width" and "name_width" values for sanity. The old code didn't, so I didn't do it, but this actually does check that the number was a real number (and didn't have crap after it). And it's easy to check the values, since all cases go through the same point.

I could have made it a more obvious "stupid" parser, I just think it's better to do it this way.
