Seems like the easiest approach would be for you to implement
versions of READ-INTEGER, READ-FLOAT, etc.

If the source for these functions in CLisp is available your work might be 90%
done for you.

There's no way to directly do what you want in ANSI Common Lisp
(why is why Clisp has its own functions), and I don't know of corresponding
functionality in Corman, although it might be there.
