[Numpy-discussion] Np.genfromtxt Problem

[Stephen P. Molnar]

I have a snippet of code

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
import numpy as np

files = []

data = np.genfromtxt(files, usecols=(3), dtype=None, skip_header=8, 
skip_footer=1, encoding=None)

print(data)


If file is a single file the code generates the data that I want. 
However I have a list of files that I want to process. According to 
numpy.genfromtxt fname can be a "File, filename, list, or generator to 
read."  If I use [13-7a_apo-1acl.RMSD    13-7_apo-1acl.RMSD 
14-7_apo-1acl.RMSD    15-7_apo-1acl.RMSD    17-7_apo-1acl.RMSD ] get the 
error:

runfile('/home/comp/Apps/Models/1-PhosphorusLigands/CombinedLigands/MOL/Docking/Results/RMSDTable/Test/DeltaGTable_s.py', 
wdir='/home/comp/Apps/Models/1-PhosphorusLigands/CombinedLigands/MOL/Docking/Results/RMSDTable/Test', 
current_namespace=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 1762, in genfromtxt
     next(fhd)

StopIteration

I have tried very combination of search terms that I can think of in 
order to find an example of how to make this work without success.

How can I make this work?

Thanks in advance.
