[Tutor] how to read data

Sat May 7 11:17:36 CEST 2011

Hi,

As you will see I am a new beginner of learning python,

I met a problem, hope someone can guide me one or two and help me learn.

Here is the issue.

"e  c #3B3B3B " /* "1.15" */,
"f  c #343434 " /* "1.19" */,
"g  c #2E2E2E " /* "1.23" */,
"h  c #272727 " /* "1.27" */,
"i  c #212121 " /* "1.31" */,
"j  c #1A1A1A " /* "1.35" */,
"k  c #141414 " /* "1.38" */,
"l  c #0D0D0D " /* "1.42" */,
"m  c #070707 " /* "1.46" */,
"n  c #000000 " /* "1.5" */,

from below we can see the e = 1.15 .... n = 1.5..

"nnnnnnnnnneZVKWcbglnnnnnnnnADKSYjknnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn",
"nnnnnnnnnnnnnlcdZTQSLGJMMDAnnnnncngbGKMHPTFJSWSZfhcejnnneSZdiilnnggnnkgnnnnnnjnnn",
"nnnnnnnnnnnmmjeaVRPLHGMJDADnnnnnlnnnUadTcfPNaeVbjkdcglnnnhnnnnnnnnnnnnlnnnnnnmnnn",
"nnnnnnnnnimfhfZURQLEJJKDADMnnnnnnnnncglcmnTXknYknniginnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn",
"nnnnnnnnndiggfYTSOIHKGDADJMnnnnnjnmlZaicljPWiiShnjedfjnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn",
"nnnnnnnnnkmhebQSQJFLKDADKMJnnnnhXiZYRMYYeYFVecPdjeaeijnnhfZnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn",

and for above I want those a-Z get back to their numerical value, so I
can use this matrix and read by matlab.

Thanks ahead for any advice about how to achieve it.

I have attached the whole file. try.xpm at the end and as attachment.

Best regards,

lina
