I can look at it. Would everyone be satisfied with a solution using regular expressions ? That is, looking for the following pattern:
pattern = re.compile(r""" ^\s* # leading white space (.*) # Data %s? # Zero or one comment character (.*) # Comments \s*$ # Trailing white space """%comments, re.VERBOSE) match = pattern.search(line) line, comment = match.groups() instead of line = line[:line.find(comments)].strip() By the way, is there a test function for loadtxt and savetxt ? I couldn't find one.
