I don't get why this doesn't work. Its a very small program to read in a group of numbers. I've attached the the python file and my test file. The test file just contains one line. The error I get is that it can't convert the string to a float, but its a valid number.
# Test for string conversion
import string,sys
def convert_pts(filename):
# Read in data using this bit
fin=open(filename, 'r')
i=0
x = []; y = []; z = [];
lines = fin.readlines()
for line in lines:
# comments indicated by #
if line[0] != '#':
i=i+1
data = string.split(line)
x.append(float(data[0]))
y.append(float(data[1]))
z.append(float(data[2]))
n_lines = int(i)
fin.close
def main():
inputfile = sys.argv[1]
convert_pts(inputfile)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
test.dat
