Reading in delimited text files
Posted February 27, 2013 at 02:42 PM | categories: io | tags:
sometimes you will get data in a delimited text file format, .e.g. separated by commas or tabs. Matlab can read these in easily. Suppose we have a file containing this data:
1 3 3 4 5 6 4 8
It is easy to read this directly into variables like this:
import numpy as np x,y = np.loadtxt('data/testdata.txt', unpack=True) print x,y
[ 1. 3. 5. 4.] [ 3. 4. 6. 8.]
