genfromtxt comes with skip_header and skip_footer that do what you want. Earlier this week, I corrected a bug w/ skip_footer on the SVN (now git) version of the sources. Please check it out. Try to be as specific as possible with your input options, that'll make genfromtxt more efficient. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
