I believe there are several ways of doing that, and mine might not be
the most efficient at all:
for line5, line8 in zip(data_5x5, data_8x8):
# line5 and line8 are row vectors of paired lines
pass
complete = numpy.hstack(data_5x5, data_8x8) # If data_5x5.shape[0] ==
data_8x8.shape[0], i.e., same number of rows.
for line in complete:
# complete is comprised of concatenated row vectors.
pass
for idx in xrange(0, min(data_5x5.shape[0], data_8x8.shape[0])):
line5 = data_5x5[idx]
line8 = data_8x8[idx]
# Do sth with the vectors. Or:
a1 = data_5x5[idx, (0, 1, 2)] # Extract items 0, 1, 2 of line idx
of first file.
a2 = data_8x8[idx, (0, 42)] # Extract items 0, 42 of line idx of
second file.
