Re: [Numpy-discussion] String manipulation

hi,

here is my workaround.

from numpy import arange line_a = '111111.1222222.2333333.3' # without separator line_b = '111111.1 222222.2 333333.3' # including space as a delimiter

div, mod = divmod(len(line_a),8) liste = [] for j in arange(0,div): liste.append(line_a[j*8:(j+1)*8])

print liste

print line_b.split() # Works for line_b but not for line_a

how about this, then:

import numpy as np def massage(data): fmt = np.dtype([('hdr', '|S8'), ('mid', '|S8'), ('tail','|S8')]) data = data.replace(' ','') assert len(data)==3*8, "contract failed or invalid assumption" return np.asarray(data,dtype=fmt).tolist()

assert(massage(line_a) == massage(line_b))

cheers, sebastien.
