[Numpy-discussion] Scientific data - Reading files

[Nils Wagner]

Hi,

I have collected acceleration data by a multi-channel data acquisition
system. Each file  (E1431A*.DAT) contains
one column with real numbers. The contents of the i-th file should be
stored in the i-th row of a data matrix A.
How can I manage this task efficiently ? Are there suitable python
modules for this purpose ? 
A small example would be appreciated.

Nils
