fair enough, though I'm not sure when I'll have time to do it. I do wonder if anyone else thinks it would be useful to have multiple delimiters as an option. I got the idea because with fromfile(), if you specify, say ',' as the delimiter, it won't use '\n', only a comma, so there is no way to quickly read a whole bunch of comma delimited data like: 1,2,3,4 5,6,7,8 .... so I'd like to be able to say to use either ',' or '\n' as the delimiter. However, if I understand loadtxt() correctly, it's handling the new lines separately anyway (to get a 2-d array), so this use case isn't an issue. So how likely is it that someone would have: 1 2 3, 4, 5 6 7 8, 8, 9 and want to read that into a single 2-d array? I'm not sure I've seen it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
