[Numpy-discussion] genfromtxt

[Nils Wagner]

Hi all,

How do I use genfromtxt to read a file with the following 
lines

              1            1  2.2592365264892578D+01

names =("i","j","v")
A = 
np.genfromtxt('bmll.mtl',dtype=[('i','int'),('j','int'),('v','d')],names=names)
V = A[:]['v']

>>> V
array([ NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN, 
 NaN,  NaN,  NaN,
         NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN, 
 NaN,  NaN,  NaN,
         NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN,  NaN, 
 NaN,  NaN,  NaN,
         NaN,  NaN,  NaN])

yields NaN, while

convertfunc = lambda x: x.replace('D','E')
names =("i","j","v")
A = 
np.genfromtxt('bmll.mtl',dtype=[('i','int'),('j','int'),('v','|S24')],names=names,converters={"v":convertfunc})
V = A[:]['v'].astype(float)
>>> V
array([ 22.59236526,  22.59236526,   2.66666698,

          2.66666698,  22.59236526,   2.66666698, 
 22.59236526,
          2.66666698,  22.59236526,   2.98142433, 
 17.2590313 ,
          2.98142433,  17.2590313 ,   2.98142433, 
  2.98142433,
          2.66666698,  22.59236526,   2.98142433, 
  2.98142433,
          2.66666698,  22.59236526,   2.98142433, 
  2.98142433,
          2.66666698,  22.59236526,   2.98142433,

         17.2590313 ,   2.98142433,   2.66666698, 
 17.2590313 ])


works fine.
