Hi, I am going to apologize ahead of time for this sort of general question, which is sort of similar others that have been asked. I am trying to read files the below, which are velocity vectors, probed at the locations listed in the very long header. My question is, is there an easy way to read …

It’s not quite clear to me what the desired result is. Are the lines starting with # part of the data? The last line seems to be missing a closing parentheses, right? Maybe you could show the data structure that you would like to obtain based on this dataset.

[image] scone: It has crashed my computer Really? Normally one gets an error message and a stacktrace, so this may not be a Julia issue. [image] scone: an easy way to read these vectors with commas I don’t see a single comma in the example data you provided. Please do put some effort…

line = "0.001694915254 (-5.123201266 0.05644463619 0.247042423) (-5.181674475 -0.001740347889 0.0001904027387)" x = split(line) for i in 1:length(x) x[i] = strip(x[i],['(',')'] end

@scone , in case it helps find a simple file reader below where input file has no headers/comments: function readprobes(file::String, nprobes) data = Matrix{Array{Float64}}(undef,0,nprobes+1) open(file) do io while !eof(io) str = strip.(split(readline(io), ('(',')'))) …

Thanks Rafael! That is better than what I had! I think I said “commas” instead of “parentheses” earlier- the Tamas will have to forgive me for writing while tired, haha.
