I would like to read a text file of numbers produced by a data
acquisition system into three vectors of doubles. The contents of the
file are:
+0.0000000e+0 +2.7645134e+1 +2.7745625e+1
+0.4100041e-1 +2.7637787e+1 +2.7731047e+1
+0.0820008e+0 +2.7645134e+1 +2.7750483e+1
...
or
+0.0000000e+0\t+2.7645134e+1\t+2.7745625e+1\r\n
...
I would like to read the first column into time_vec, second into
ch1_vec and so on.
(I have never programmed in python and am having trouble finding a way
to do this).
Well, a very terse way of doing it would be something like:
time_vec, ch1_vec, and_so_on = zip(*(
map(float, line.split())
for line in file('in.txt')))
If my junior developer authored that, I'm not sure whether I'd
laud her or fire her. :)
If this isn't homework, there are some less terse versions which
are a bit easier on the eyes and less like some love-child
between Perl and Python.
