Manuel, Give me the week-end to come up with something. What you want is already doable with the current implementation of np.loadtxt, through the converter keyword. Support for missing data will be covered in a separate function, most likely to be put in numpy.ma.io at term. On Nov 28, 2008, at 5:42 AM, Manuel Metz wrote:

Certainly, yes! Dealing with fixed-length fields would be necessary. The case I had in mind had both -- a separator ("|") __and__ fixed- length fields -- and is probably very special in that sense. But such data-files exists out there...
Well, if you have a non-space delimiter, it doesn't matter if the fields have a fixed length or not, does it? Each field is stripped anyway.
Yes. It would already be _very_ helpful (without changing loadtxt too much) if the current implementation uses a converter like this
def fval(val): try: return float(val) except: return numpy.nan
instead of float(val) by default.
mm
The real issue is when the delimiter is ' '... I should be able to take care of that over the week-end (which started earlier today over here :) _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
