Oh, easy. You need to replace only the last three lines of genfromtxt with the ones from loadtxt (808-833). Then, if usemask is True, you need to use ma.atleast_Xd instead of np.atleast_Xd. Et voilà. Comments: * I would raise an exception if ndmin isn't correct *before* trying to read the file... * You could define a `collapse_function` that would be `np.atleast_1d`, `np.atleast_2d`, `ma.atleast_1d`... depending on the values of `usemask` and `ndmin`... If you have any question about numpy.ma, don't hesitate to contact me directly. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
