[SciPy-user] read ascii data

[Xavier Barthelemy]

hi

in scipy, or numpy I can't recall, there's a function name io.read_array

data= 
io.read_array(filename,columns=(0,-1),lines=(0,-1),atype='thetypeyouwant')

columns and lines can be all like int his example, or you can just 
choose where to begin and where to end, or just a discrete list.

check the Doc, it is relatively well explained

Cheers
Xavier
